Mellotronists

Hello....I'm the very happy owner of a newly refurbished Novatron 
thanks to Martin & John from Streetly...(M-1832).  Jimmy Moore 
suggested I join the list...as serendipity would have it, turns out 
we're neighbors...not even 20 miles from each other!  
It REAL nice to know there's a "workshop" happening nearby here in 
the Philadelphia area...I'll probably be bringing my Novatron (STILL 
a "mellotron" by any other name!).  I know of a DJ from our 
local "classic rock" station who seems to have some interest...in 
fact, he wanted to come by and record a few mellotron "snippets" for 
radio use.  Its amazing how few people there are out there that have 
even the slightest clue these machines are getting a tremendous 
revival...I didn't even know until I got inspired to search for one 
after a recent Moody Blues show.  Being a prog-rock nut, I naturally 
got MkII sounds for the two tape frames...MII-Strings/MII-Flute/MII-
Brass...and then MII-Trombone/MII-Smooth organ/8-Choir.

Well, for an introduction, I've probably rambled-on enough.  Will 
look forward to meeting some of you, I'm sure, on the 11th.

Best to all,
