Mellotronists

Too cool!  They had one at one of the colleges I attended in upstate New 
York, and I loved it.  I even got to use it onstage one time for a 
performance.  That one got a lot of use and as far as I know, for at least a 
few years had no problems at all.  That's about all I can provide...
