The Mellotron Group

Open the back panel and look at the motor. On the mounting plate there is a 
 bolt you can loosen that will allow you to ease the tension on the belt a 
bit.  Your machine may well reach operating speed a little quicker.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I don't have any love affair with my CMC-10. A  
replacement is the next thing on my list. I'm not keeping the CMC-10 much  
longer. But keep in mind that I've never experienced a perfectly working  
Mellotron with a new motor card. But I do hear a lot of wow and flutter on  those 
Yes and Genesis Mellotrons.

No... You have a distorted understanding of what it should be and  how it 
should work. SMS boards replaced the CMC-10 early on. Today, the  SMS-2 
(Streetly) and SMS-5 (Markus) are very similar to the original SMS-2  and SMS-3. 
The CMC was a piece of shit. That's why an improvement was found  early on. 
No more waiting 45 minutes. You turn it on and (assuming  everything is 
properly adjusted) go. Plus, you don't go flat when you play  depress a bunch of 
keys at the same time.
 
How do you depress the keys, you ask? Why you threaten to introduce  them 
to Rick. (Bada Bing)
