Hi all-
  I agree, the pictures look familiar.  I remember the accessory cord picture with the list next to it.  Caution is probably advised.
 
  On a similar subject, the NOS Mellotron on Ebay sold for $9500.00.  Hmmm.

If the NOS went for $9,500.00, I'd have gladly put in an order for an 
M4000 instead.  An M4000 trumps a perfectly working M400 any day.

So Frank, what are your true feelings?

Re: Mellotron for Sale

2008-09-09 by Bernie

Yeah, for that price the buyer could have gotten a fine piece of 
hardware with 24 sounds and would have had enough cash left over to 
put a nice synth or a Hammond XK-1 on top.

I'm not sure we have an equal understanding of the exchange rate and  
shipping costs. Still, the M4000 is the way to go. By the way, I will soon be  
selling two very nice Mellotron 400s on eBay. They are far superior the one that  
was just sold, but will go for a much better price. Both are fully updated with  
and electro-mechanically fully updated. Both have SMS-5s and two speed 
switches  (though not mounted through the control panel face plates. The white one 
was has  a pretty good history (played by Chicago and a few other well know 70s 
bands.)  The other one was wretchedly tortured (updated) by Sound Sales and 
then  painted by a blind troll with a can of black paint and a broom ( and 
probably a  brain full of LSD). Of course I have made it even better by fixing 
everything  inside but leaving the outside intact. I may actually paint it 
outside, the  inside is done... But it is so weird that I have grown to love it.
 
So look forward to lots of Mellotronia on ebay.

Hmm, you get drunk, wander down and lift up a white lid. Who hasn't done  
that. I remember being at a friends house back in the 70s and I was so pissed  
that I went down in his living room, lifted up a cushion and urinated all over  
his sofa. I was ok with it but I ended up with a huge cleaning bill.
 
I'm better now. I just go in my pants.

My mellotron smells of mouse piss, except when the new tapes go in when it smells of shoe polish.

Ahh yes, the sledge hammer. No better tool to remove those stubborn capstan  
bearings. They are also amazingly helpful at getting the truth out of a  
Mellotron.
