Yes, it's an idea. But first we have to find out about the tones and
clicks which it maybe still generates.
Some people have added three 1000 mfd 4v tantal condensors over the
voltage rail. This is easily done, but those condensors can only be
bought in the US, they are expensive, and  you have to pay some 100
dollars to the courier.

I mean - if  modifications make the recorder as expensive as a
recorder which is okay as it is, there is no point in making the mod's...?
Unless you really need a small recorder. As far as I know, the ones
working well as they are, are quite big, like my new Fostex.
And if you have to add an extra power pack to the Zoom, it isn't
small anymore... life is awful...
