Re: [newmellotrongroup] EMI M400

2008-04-11 by Mark Pring

New Zealand, Frank. I don't think I would ship one
that far, in fact I know I wouldn't as I did seriously
consider buying a new one at one stage. I suppose it
can be done. 

#1565 sort of works now, and it's easier sending bits
of it for repair and replacing bits and doing bits
myself ( with help). I suspect that by the time I'm
finished only the motor, frame, capstan, flywheel  and
wooden bits will be original.

I have spent $1200 (US) so far hope and it's not going
to cost more than another $2000.

Yours sounds like a nice machine, hope it goes to a
good home.

Mark

PS Is there a society for the prevention of cruelty to
Mellotrons?
