Howdy! Anybody have any tips for demagnetizing the head block? Do you do one head at a time (slow in, slow out, next head repeat, rinse repeat) or can you just slowly sweep over each head once you're in there? Also - who on the list lives in Atlanta, GA and would be interested in starting a multi-tron band for infrequent gig blowouts? Sweepily, Blake M400 #542

Hi All! I think this is a topic worthy of comment by those repairers, restorers and general gaddabouts of all things Mellodramatic to address. After all, they've demagnetized everything they can get their hands on. Well, JB should comment. That Martinge character knows nuffink. So guys, what is the correct way to demag tron head blocks? And do you do it differently when you're in Hollywood? And does Julia Roberts look in person a lot like she does on the screen?

Hi all- Some say to unplug the lead from the head block to the preamp, whether the block comes out or not. Is this also a "must"? Jim M400 #917

[mailto:lsf5275@aol.com] Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 7:36 AM To: mellotronists@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Mellotronists] Demagging Heads I have found that removing the headblock to demagnetize is not necessary. But, if you should do so, be sure to short across the contacts of the receiver plug at the back of the preamp box before you plug the headblock back in or you run the risk of magnetizing the headblock all over again... and the correct procedure is to only demagnetize one head at a time. just my 2 cents.
