Fw: [Mellotronists] Re: Fw: Pink Floyd - Mellotron

2006-04-17 by jonesalley

I believe hearing that the Mk II was in such bad shape that the other half 
was essentially unrepairable and was junked, which was the reason why the 
instrument was cut in half in the first place.  That was the old early 
Genesis Mk II also, wasn't it?  This is all buried in the group archives 
somewhere, but I've got 3500 group messages just on this computer...
