Re: Fw: [Mellotronists] Crimson M400: #254 or #354?

I'm familiar with the glue problem. Maybe that's explains my drain bamage?
The instrument looks pretty sharp though.

How does your recollection of the M400 you carpeted compare to the Islands

Now, doth the craftsman recognize his work?
Sadly, I do recognise this as being my creation. I can't say with absolute certainty, but unless someone else had exactly the same idea, which is possible I guess, it's probable that it's the same machine.
I thought that the carpet would be a good to help protect the unit (which it did), and would look good, which actually looking at it again, does, in my opinion.
In fact, I made the mistake of doing the work in a small, poorly ventilated room. I didn't realise this was a mistake until I came round. I had passed out, having OD'd on the glue fumes!
