Mellotronists

Hi,
I have mostly MkII & M400 sounds in my M300. The M300 preamps are
quite dull compared with other trons. I demonstrated this to myself
recently by plugging the M300 headblocks into my M400 preamp using a
coax extension lead - quite a difference!
I'd quite like to retro fit WME290's into my M300 but the voltages are
reversed in the 300 so I don't think it can be done.

Cheers
John
