Mellotronists

Does anyone think that they would ever sell their Mellotron? If not,
then $10 bucks is a drop in the bucket for a replacement cap that could
quite possibly provide a lifetime of service. (now that most of these
machines are better cared for, they probably wont need another) Also, it
would look original and that's what we'd prefer, right?. I'd pay the
$10.

of the 4 machines i have worked on 3 needed new caps.
[mine was not, thankfully, one of them]
they are surely the single most common item in need of replacement,
second only to... maybe tapes? [a far more costly commodity]

i don't think people would be willing to pay more than... say $5 US for
a replacement cap. but i do think $5 US would be resonable to most
folks. [perhaps $6 US with a shipping fee included]

at that price i would order a spare just to have one around.

could they be made for less than that?

anyone else have a price point they would find reasonable?

what would you consider an UN-reasonable price?
i think $$10 US would just be too hard to justify.

my two cents, or as much as $6.
