#1565 arrived today, I still can't believe it. To my
inexpert eye it doesn't look too bad for a machine
built over 30 years ago which has been in storage for
14 years. I will post some photos later.

It has one broken tape spring and the track selector
arm has come loose, the tapes look ok, I haven't
removed the keyboard yet, there are a few electrical
leads floating about. I don't think I would dare plug
it in if I had a power cable which  I don't, although
I know Martin can supply one.

I have realised 2 things.

1) I don't know anything about mellotrons.
2) By the time I get this thing working ( which I
suspect might be a considerable time) I will.

I'll post a bit more in a few days but at the moment I
am in still in a state of shock, all I can do is stare
at it.

Mark
