The Mellotron Group

Gary,
 
I have never seen a T-550, although I know someone who has one. As for the  
other  4-tracks, I think Ryo has one in his collection. Beyond that, I have 
 no idea where the other two are. I agree that it seems like a vast 
improvement  over the 400, but it would still have needed to have evolved a bit for 
mass  production. One neat thing about it is that it all bolts together... 
Everything!  Even the cabinet may be disassembled into a bunch of stamped 
metal panels. Plus,  there is room in the cabinet for two small children or a 
good sized dog. Or  maybe a cooler of some kind :-). It certainly is very 
road worthy.

Frank, 
Do you know  anything about the history of this machine or any of the other 
3 that were  produced (who used them, recordings,etc.Do  This machine has 
always  intrigued me and seemed a better design than the 400 (fixed heads,  
etc.).  Have you ever seen one of the T.550s (400 built into a road  case)?
