Maybe not... I don;t know how much hash a Pro power supply
will try to
put onto the mains if run without a filter, and how much
interference it
will cause.
I'd fit a filter, if only becuase I like to keep my machines
as close to
the original design as possible, subject ot them working
properly (in
other words I'll do mods to fix design bugs, or to make the
machine more
useful to me, but in a case like this I'd try to fit a
filter).
