Chamberlin M-1...price (?)
2005-07-14 by mellotrongirl
A year/year and one-half or so ago--someone here on this list mentioned one in excellent condition going for $5,000 in a music store somewhere around the Great Lakes (?) Who got that one, I dunno. Maybe it's still available! Seems I recall the person letting it go said he's selling it for what he paid for it. Now I hear in the String Synths thread over at progressiveears.com from a July 3 post stating the two Mellotrons that Wobbler used at NearFest may be sold. There are racks aplenty with this pair. Someone's got some explaining to do. I know if I (confirmed) was to let go my unit, I'd offer it here first. Letting go of a Mellotron. Unthinkable. "Lack of space" isn't a good enough excuse. Yet then again, I'm still kicking myself for letting go thousands of mainly obscure LP's from a personal record collection back in 1978. I even painted my living room around the record shelves rather than to take the time to unload them all. Back to the packrat "National-Geographics-In-The-Attic" mode.
