2012-12-03 by Tom Doncourt


Can anyone give me a remedy for my mellotron eating it's tapes? They have gotten pinched between the capstan and the felt then wrapped around the capstan and ---snaaaaped!!!!! AUGH! I am thinking either A. the tapes are too old and worn
; B. the felt is too old and worn
C. the felt needs cleaning
D. the tape spillbox needs to be adjusted
Any help would be appreciated!
