Mellotron Mk V

Mellotron Mk V

2012-01-26 by Mike Dickson

Fellow mellotronworkers -

After a short search and a long period of negotiation with banks, customs, craters and freighters I am pleased to announce that - at last - I have found and bought myself a Mellotron Mk V, serial no 5/121 and presently lodged at Streetly for a bit of a renovation.

Pictures etc will be forthcoming soon.

In due course I may be selling the trusty old M400 for reasons of space more than anything else.

Congrats Mike!
I’d love to have a Mark V, but obviously difficult to find.
Enjoy it as I’m sure you will.
Regards,
Tony

Congratulations, Mike!
   Glad you found one.  I am looking foreward to hearing some good stuff from you and your new child (twins?) in the future.
