I realize this is late.. however, many years ago I had a rich musician buddy who owned 
one.. and I spent many an hour playing and listening to these three-track tapes.  I played it 
through what we now know as a class A system, with excellent 3-way bins.. and I say that 
it had some frequency response problems.  Listening to early Moody Blues CDs brings it all 
right back.

IF you don't want to chase additional libraries, I suggest creating a standard track - flute, 
strings or choir - and then applying some telephone-style visual EQ to it.. you have to 
reduce the audio range on modern samples to properly emulate the Mellotron.  Roll off the 
top and the bottom.  Don't imagine that Mellotron samples were hi-fi by any means..

best luck
