The Mellotron Group

Hi all-
 
    Looks like an SMS-3 card.  It's mounted wrong, of course, fins should be vertical.
 
    I think the copper was an RFI noise shield, and the user had a noisy electronic device sitting on the top.  
 
    Mine (#1221), was also missing a keypad arm.   The spring section of the arm must break easily.
 
 
 
    As you've seen, the "perfect" Chamby is baaaack.  Let's keep ignoring it, until it's free...

Auction quote: "Has the stable motor card"

Judging by the right rear photo, the lid doesn't seem to close 
evenly. I wonder if the cabinet is out of whack? It does look pretty 
clean though.
