The Mellotron Group

Hi, Sean.
 
For starters, there's are two informative Mellotron books available  that 
may answer a lot of your questions:
    - my book, The Mellotron  Book
    - Nick Awde's book, Mellotron: The  Machine and The Musicians That 
Revolutionised Rock

I've been tossing around the idea of creating a Mellotron Wiki, or rather  
someone creating a Mellotron Wiki.

I know there is plenty of  information out there, somewhere, about 
servicing these beasts, DIY  adjustments, playing techniques, and how previous 
Mellotron Stars performed  and had their Trons mixed into the records and during 
live shows.

It's  very frustrating digging this sort of information up. The two 
Mellotron lists  are great aids.

Still, I'm thinking we could all benefit and have great  fun creating a 
nice Wiki where once the information is found by someone it can  be found by 
everyone fairly easy. I'm hoping that people from Streetly and  Markus to Mike 
Pinder and such can contribute as they wish.

Let's start  tossing these ideas  about.
