Very nice tones. I'm curious what battery setup you are using.  RM640 
(?) were notoriously leaky (and of course being mercury cells, now 
discontinued.)

When we (Olympus) were still doing factory repairs on the EC line, I 
remember the battery contacts falling out of the bottom of cameras 
because the battery leakage had eaten through the solder connection.
