That's the great thing about Streetly... They're always willing to lend a  
hand...er... so to speak.

John baby,


Sex is a perfectly normal feeling.  This mellotron metaphor is a  thinly 
disguised call for help.  We are here to help and our team of  experts are on 
hand to assist.  Sponsored by Kleenex, we are reputable  and disgusting by 
degrees.


Caringly,


The Streetly care team

Martin, shouldn't I at least line my mouth and esophagus with aluminum  
foil or something?  Coat the tape paths with a mixture of Epsom salts,  malt 
vinegar, and cilantro?  Pack the spill box with surgical  cotton?

Mr B.,

A well adjusted 'tron will work whatever the weather.  These tales of 
humidity and cold are an excuse for lack of adjustment and  poorer than poor 
maintenance. A well maintained mellington will sing  sweetly through wars and 
pestilence, rape and famine, four things I want  to reinstate but rebadged as 
Lifestyle Living.

Best in the  west,

Martin

that's all over the map, coming off a heat wave in  July that saw us in the upper 
'90s a lot. It's cooler now, but we still  having fairly high humidity, and 
I'm living in an attic without air  conditioning. Because of this, I've 
simply put my tape racks away in boxes  and retired the Tron until the weather 
stabilizes somewhat - hopefully in  September. Is there anything else I 
should be doing, or am I over  reacting?
