The Mellotron Group

I'm giving it up. I bought the Mellotron new from a music store around 25+ years ago or so, planning to use it for recording. Never had time/place/cash to set up the studio. So I finally decided to sell it to someone who knows what it is and will give it a good home.

It is SN 1354. It has been in a home, a church recording studio and another home where it is now, always climate controlled, no pets, no kids. Around 14 years ago I kept it in the church where I was the orchestra director, but never used it. While there, I removed the tape rail and de-magnetized the heads, reinstalled the tape rail and played it a bit, mostly for the curious who had never heard of it. Played fine but I never recorded with it. Finally moved it to a friend's home where it sits with bubble-wrap on the keyboard for dust protection.

I'm enclosing a few photos. Everything is original. So you can take it from there. I hate to give it up, if nothing else, for the history of the instrument. So here it is.

Asking $500,000

Will sell it for $3,000

Please text or call for more photos or questions.

I hate it when Mellotrons have kids and pets. They just don't make good  
parents or pet owners.

Yeah I agree.
Birotrons are even worse but luckily as they are a very  endangered species 
breeding is negligable so kids don't really pose a threat.  Bugs are 
readily evident though, infestation being introduced in negligent  manufacturing 
processes 
As for smoke free, well I suspect a fair number of  trons have had a smoke 
(through no fault of their own - check that power  supply) and certainly a 
couple owned by a certain R Wakefieldman (whatever)  smoked liked chimneys. I 
don't blame the trons I blame the parents.
