The Mellotron Group

Hi John,
I recall Frank Stickle posting something on the old list (how's that old 
list doing, I wonder) about the black control panels on the sound sales 
M400s being stickers and you mention it also.  #1407 has one of these 
black with the yellow M but it doesn't seem like a sticker.  It does 
have a rather healthy scratch along the front edge and raw aluminum is 
definitely showing through.  I'd love to restore it to the Streetly 
control panel if that is indeed under there.  Does anyone have any info 
on that?
