MONEYPIT May Trip Report: Spiffitizing the Medeskitron

MONEYPIT May Trip Report: Spiffitizing the Medeskitron

2005-05-29 by Ken Leonard

Hello fellow 'troniacs,

I'd like to call your attention to the trip report for MONEYPIT 
Pennsylvania May 2005 where our challenge was to take John Medeski's M400, 
replace a knackered set of tapes, and get the head azimuth done.

Not a problem, you say?

Well, the 'tron didn't arrive until May 6, the tape sound selections 
weren't made, and the frame and head block had to be sent to the UK...and 
everything had to be done by sound check time for the Medeski, Martin, & 
Wood concert on May 12!

So...Did everything get done on time?  Was the concert a success?

Sorry, I'll just have to leave you in suspense.  :-)

M400 #805 - drat---should have learned how to read
M400 #1037 - the only suspense comes from suspended chords
