Proud new owner of M400 #710

2005-08-27 by lilainjil

Just thought I would let you all know that I am now in possession of a mellotron 
M400... serial number #710.   Will have to replace the old CMC motor drive.  
Otherwise it is in pretty good condition.   It is missing the track selector switch (where 
can I find one of these?) and the small blocks beside the keyboard need to be 
repainted (?).  

Tape set:   flute/violins/choir.  I'll be looking at a second tape set sooner or later.  
Any recommendations?  I do like the sound of Fritz Doddy's alternate set mentioned 
in the Mellotron book:  medieval woodwinds/M300B strings/bass accordion+cello 
split.  Maybe swap the medieval woodwinds with bass clarinet.
