The Mellotron Group

I have a Markus frame in #911 and haven't had any trouble.

I've had two of Markus's frames over the last few years. I've used them
in many different Trons and have passed them along to others in this
group (as I recall) I never had problems. I do prefer the Streetly
frames personally, because I live the turnbuckles. The lower the
friction the better the machine plays. Period.

	Thanks Gentlemen- actually I put the tapes in myself and did
take out slack-still sticking. I also installed another set of his tapes
from the same stock in a Streetly frame ---they do not stick. Pretty
sure it has something to do with the MVI frame....Maybe replace the
springs?
