The Mellotron Group

That's interesting.  I believe that would be about $24,000 (1967 =100)
in today's dollars.  That price is about $1,000 higher than a Hammond
spinet in the early 70's.  "L" and "M" Hammonds probably about half that
much used.
 
Wonder how one could afford a Tron then.  Did studios buy them and lease
them?

Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Price of Mellotron in 1972


  

Seeing all the posts about the price of the Tron on eBay, I've a copy of
a letter I received in 1972 from DMI quoting a price on a new M400 as
$3,500.00.
