With my back I'd never get the tron upstairs.

Ahhh, Mellotron as radio. Been there. This is what always works for 
me.
 
When ever that happens I wrap my Mellotron in Aluminum Foil and then in 
Neoprene. Then I liberally sprinkle it with talc and put it in it's 
Protectomuff. I then bake it at 325 degrees for two and a half hours. Once done, 
let it sit for an hour, remove the protectomuff and shove it down a flight of 
stairs. Then, I make it stay out in the yard all night.
 
Precisely at dawn, remove the neoprene and foil and wheel it back into the 
studio.
 
This works every time.
