Mellotronists

hi there

maybe i'm going to buy a mellotron 400 in some weeks, and i just want 
to ask you how i can transport it. do i have to transport it upright 
like when i play it or can i lay it down in the car. can this cause 
damage to the mellotron?

cheers & thanks, marcel

Hi Marcel,
I used to transport my old M400 on it's back in my old Honda Civic 
hatchback. This with tapes inside no problems. The boyz at 
Streetly loaded it into my car like that when I first bought it from 
them so no worries. Just make sure you give it a good looking over 
before you turn it on afterwards. Look for headblock and tapes 
coming adrift.

Were they pointing and laughing as you drove away?
