Lee,  I mentioned that one a couple of  days ago. Prob. got lost in the
melee around mid-week.  Charles also made a good point about the
use ( or lack ) of  Chamberlins for 50's sci-fi  "B" movie soundtracks.

In retrospect, now that I view some of those lesser films with today's
perspective, they REALLY were cheesy !  The majority of  explosion
and devastation was stock military footage of early A or H-bomb tests
(Houses exploding into matchsticks, pine forests denuded, jeeps
tipped over, etc.)  .  Just add in a  cliche title, some rubber costumes
and props, some Theremin and signal-generators, there 'ya go !

.......Coming soon to a popcorn/gum infested cinema near you:
"Killer Trons from  Planet Bodger "  or
"The Day The Motors Stood Still"  or  " Eight Second Countdown"
or my favorite " The Man with the X-Ray Sampler "

OK, I'm going back to the basement to avoid the deadly Cathode Ray Gun .

Shawna.....oh yes! I always hoped she'd fall out of that silver bandage she was wearing...

unfortunately that beautiful actress died a tragic death....

Picture this...Radiation-affected mutant MkII's with 2"  tapes, CMC-10's, a 
pitch-controlled half-speed brass roar, and a cycling  system that spews out 
deadly rays through the speakers, and whose force can only  be tamed by 
replacing the tapes!  Who's gonna be the soul brave  enough to step forward and save 
the world?

I wanted a drill "thrall" like Shawna more than I wanted a Mellotron.
