The Mellotron Group

Martin,

As usual, I have a hard time figuring out when you guys are serious or making jokes with 
that dry wit that seems to thrive in these groups.

If this isn't a joke, What is a turnbuckle first off?  further what's a revolving turnbuckle and 
what part of the tape frame are we talking about?

Sorry to be so dense.

I am interested in getting an empty tape frame to rack the old set of tapes as I said in the 
earlier threads here.

On the Streetly web site I see tape sound samples but I couldn't find any type of price list 
showing what an empty tape frame from you costs and what kind of shipping charges I'd 
incur coming from the UK to me here in Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887

Again, since I've tried out a friends set of tapes that came from Markus I know that the 
longer tape frames they're making will not fit on the right side of my Mark V due to the 
placement/location of the SMS at that bottom of the Mark V case.  The longer frame hits 
the SMS and can't be properly installed.

Are your frames larger now as well or are they the same dimensions as the originals?

Thanks,

John
