Over time the original rubber coating becomes brittle (at least mine did) and needs to be replaced. It looks like he replaced the three pronged plug with a 1/4" stereo jack (TRS) which is a smart move and something I'm going to do with mine.

| | | | yeah i had one for years,but only used it a few times,verry cool effect! i sold it about 2 years ago for $350, this price seems kinda high. there are so many envelope devices on the market now in the $100-200 range, i would look into those instead. i found mine at a yard sale for $25..... |

yes, im just curious as to the power adapter mod. |

| | | It's rare to see the power supply being sold with them original Mu-Tron, so perhaps it was just as flimsy as the guy says. Don't see why his having fixed it should be an issue. Quote:

This is, unfortunately, the going price for these on ebay. A lot of people want it because it's the original, and it's the same kind of envelope filter used by Jerry Garcia, Stevie Wonder, and Bootsy and others. Should a Lovetone Meatball go for $600 on average on ebay? Probably not, but someone will buy it at that price. Supply and demand. |
