Hello All, I wish to re-iterate here that the JK-MK6 is not to be
confused with the official Mellotron MK-VI as built by Mellotron.Com .
To avoid any legalities,I shall contact the book publisher straightaway.
My apologies to DK and MR.....  Jerry Korb

Hi, Jerry, et al,

Let me clarify: The text I sent to the publisher was very specific in 
delineating the MkVI from the JK-MK6, and this continued to be reflected in 
the text draft they sent me.  In the Models chapter, someone somewhere along 
the line at the 11th hour changed the JK-MK6 to JK-MK VI. In the Pictures 
chapter, it is correctly identified.  I have already sent DK email clarifying 
that the fuck-up is the publisher's, not mine.

Jeez, does Rick go through this same shit with his novels?
