The Mellotron Group

I think the guy is trying to blow smoke up our asses, just to piss us off.
Notice the subject line (M-Tron), we don’t refer to our machines that way.
Then it turns into Mellotron in the body of the message.
A 60’s Mellotron, what are those odds?
I say “consider the source, and forget him”.
Sounds to me like our friends over the pond have dealt with him already.

3) In 100 % ORIGINAL condition. No a "Streetly serviced" or refurbished unit or any crap like that.

You're an obvious ASS! I guess you have no sense of these or any other vintage instrument, mechanical apparatus.  You'll never ever find an original tron in top shape that hasn't been serviced.  I doubt there are more than a handful of people in the world who could tell the difference between an expertly refurbed model and an original in top shape and you have just insulted that handful, who happen to be on this list.

Money can't buy love, but I suggest you spend a little of yours on some manners.  Maybe you might want to look up the definition of research in a dictionary as it is obvious your research has been minimal at best.

This shit pisses me off.

Hi y'all:
I am looking for an original Mellotron from the 60's and I am willing to pay top dollar for the right one. It will be a gift for a very special someone.
I have been doing some research. May be someone on this group may help me find it or is willing to sell. These are my conditions.
1) It has to be in top shape.
2) Not a barn garbage or not working unit or partially working keyboard.
3) In 100 % ORIGINAL condition. No a "Streetly serviced" or refurbished unit or any crap like that.
4) If possible, I would like to have also original sets of recordings with the keyboard.
5) I don't mind the model as the previous 4 conditions are there.
Please send me some pictures or video to my email and the price you are looking for. I will be in touch with you within a week.
Thank you. Have a great day.
Jamie
