Re: CMC10 Motor

Well, you could have a listen to old recordings from the 70's... My most favorite records from that era had a distinct other (worldly) sound than the sound coming from M400's with a new stable motor...
Yes, the old CMC10 was unstable and sometimes even false. Detuning was terrible, IF you didn't want that.
But what if you DO want that? ;-)
In my view, the old M400 was just a too fragile instrument for the Rock and Roll demands of most musicians from that time period. But have a listen to Early Tangerine Dream or Edgar Froese and you'll know that this detuned sound is a direct outcome of the unstability of the old CMC10.
Therefor, I'm looking for one in fairly good condition.
Perhaps to have the SMS3 fully replaced;
Or to have both motors, but to alter between using both of them with a switch of some kind.
Hoping to hear for anyone with a CMC10 ;-)
Thanx,
Ray
