What a sad example of a M400\ufffd. Thank God his is throwing in the mouse shit. For $2000 it better be gold plated!

M400 #706 ,the former ELO Mellotron was sold to me in 1997 in worse shape.

Keys 1-4 were rotted from the mice peeing atop that spot. And the

roller assemblies beneath crumbled from rust/urea. Took hours to clean-up

the headblock in that area,incl. repl. of heads 1-5.

I also received free of charge, two mice nests in bottom of cabinet,

with loads of "black rice" everywhere. Still, everything was repairable,

cleanable,etc. You may have seen this revived instr. It's now part of the

JKMK6 which debuted in Philly-2001.
