Notice the second photo... no feet. It appears to be floating in air. The  
pictures look photo shopped to me.

forget that junk go digital get a memotron with all the tape banks they ever made on one machine.  why bother being stuck with three and an unreliable machine you have to fix more than a Ford Pickup Truck.

Screw off. Memontrons are for sissies. Mellotrons are reliable. Many of the 
 people that have owned them are not.

seriously i went to a recording studio in parsippany i think it was and this guy brought it with him, with the ease of a menu he could blend sad strings with flutes, cello, then change his mind and load vox humana instead.  the thing was amazing, weighed 40 lb, size of a 1980's yamaha keyboard.  Memotron is the name of the unit had control knobs just like the original, even had reverb which the other didnt.  he told me he imported all the sounds from m-tron software so he had a bank of 100+ sounds ever made even had novatron or birotron  forget which one it was.

im sorry to piss you off...   but i'm part of the ipod generation..  there is reason why cassette tapes, 8-track, reel-to-reel, vhs, etc.. all died as a format.  digital is the way to go.

Good, it's settled then. This is a group devoted to Mellotrons, not iPods  
or Memotrons
 
Go away.

So that's why you are whining about a Memotron. You can't afford the real  
deal. Waaaaaaa!

yeah but its easier to dig and find dinosaur bones than it is to find  a 
working mellotron for 2000.

I think it was Fritz a while back who was lamenting how the visual media (movies, etc.) keep expanding on quality and clarity while audio media (music, etc.)
