That would be almost imposible here... finding a mellotron M400... (and
restored! nothing less). I think I can count with the fingers of my
hands the mellotrons sold here in the 70's, so the only way for us
spanish to get one seems to get a new mark VI :-(.
The same happens with other vintage machines as vox organs, hammonds,
etc...
