The Mellotron Group

Thanks Gino!

As of now, I'm in good shape on that front, but we'll see once I put it back together and fire it up.

Fritz, I have a couple of Hammond amps from chop jobs (my age is showing) that you can strip for parts if you do the authentic replacement parts thing..  Personally I only recommend tube sockets and tubes and the like but Bob Moog reconditioned electrolytic caps.

Hi Fritz,
That’s great that your Hammond is being seen by “guru”, it should be more wonderful .
I’m sure you’ll enjoy it all the more!
Congrats and regards,
Tony

Thank you Vance. It's all about evacuation now isn't it!

p.s.  So, I met a Hammond guru, who lives about 15 minutes from me. He's serviced all the NY/ NJ royalty and we know a lot of the same folks.  My M3 is going on a road trip soon along with a case of Blue Moon.  I'm very psyched to learn from a seasoned pro on the ins and outs of owning a Hammond.  The 145 is ready to be reassembled as well.  Enough about me....

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
