Re: [newmellotrongroup] Popping sound

2018-05-06 by Mike Dickson

Is it happening in the same pattern on the same keys every time, or is it more random?

Hi all,


Long time owner, haven't played my 'tron in about 7 years or so. I had it gone through about a year before that (new PS caps, new capstan bearings, new rollers, new belt, new Streetly tapes/frame, new Streetly heads, etc.). It had its motor control board changed sometime in the 90s.


Fired it up tonight and I noticed some popping/clicking sounds in the audio... anyone experience that before? I have to go through the keyboard and adjust the action and all but this popping/clicking is a new one on me.


Thoughts?


Cheers,
Chris
