Subject: Mellotron
Hello Andy
In the early nineties I worked at Thames Tv Teddington. In the old tape library there was a Mellotron. It was loaded with sound effects and it worked albeit in need of a service. One day my boss Brian Harper said if you want that Mellotron take it now or I\u2019ll skip it. There was no way I could get it home and even if I could I had no room. I rang a dealer in Charing Cross who collected it straight away and gave me £800! Now I know from his keenness and the amount he gave me it was worth a tad more.
I regret that I had not taken it home but I tell myself that at least it might be restored and looked after. I would love to know where it ended up. I don\u2019t recall the dealers name \u2013 it may have been Macari\u2019 s but I am not sure. If you can help I would love to know who owns it \u2013 It was almost certainly destined for restoration.
At least I saved it from the tip!
