The Mellotron Group

I seriously doubt that anyone shopping for a new mellotron or parts for
that matter, even tapes,
wouldn't see the difference between the products offered by Streetly or
"Mellotronics". If I have 10 grand to spend on a cycling machine I am not
about to be confuded by the 4000D. The ethics and legallity of it all
aside I don't see that it will hurt or aid anyone's business..... TD
