Mellotronists

(From a link on the synth-diy list...)

If you're getting frustrated in your attempts to purchase a Mellotron
in reasonable shape, perhaps one of these will be of interest:

Note the rat carcass on one of the turntables.  And the 120 VAC on
the 1/4-inch phone jacks.

(... waiting for Streetly to claim that this unit came from Mellotron
Archives.)

Hi Don,  Thanks for that referral. Holy-Frankenstein,Batman !

Even when building my first science-fair elec. stuff at age
8, never did I wire something which resembled that !
Looks like a musical torture device . Betcha the rats died
upon hearing the first bars of  "We've Only Just Begun....."

Woulda loved to see a sales brochure touting its "features."

-- Cheers,  "Cousin Itt "

P.S:  The unit came from Grandpa Munster's bsmt. lab.
