Hello Mellotronlings!  


I have been on something of a hiatus after selling EMI104S some  three 
years ago (or more, it's hard to remember).  I've found it  very difficult to 
immerse myself in mellotronia, primarily due to  intense jealousy and regret 
after having to sell for finacial reasons,  something many of us can relate 
to.


But no more!  I have just obtained M400 #376, a former  Beatlemania touring 
tron belonging to producer Paul Kolderie  (Radiohead, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., 
etc. and owner of the former Fort  Appache Studios and the recently closing 
Camp Street Studios in  Boston). I've had the pleasure of working on her on 
many occasions and  when I heard Paul was closing Camp Street, I 
immediately placed dibs  on it.


Although a bit rough around the edges, it plays beautifully with  a stable 
SMS3 control board.  I plan on giving it much love as  it's been a touch 
neglected, and eventually a full ground-up  restoration.  


As any former tron owner could relate to, there has been a  significant gap 
in my studio's arsenal, not to mention my tendencies  toward tinkering.  
Somehow, I feel complete and felt the need to  share.


It's good to be back.


Cheers!

this get-together and the new guy has  to...
