Hi, all-
  I noticed this auction, too.  I especially liked the
cabinet-quality angle iron between the side & back. 
Maybe there are 7 more!  It is interesting to note how
a 122 lb. instrument, plus the case (& pallet, muff, &
pedal), grew to a 350 lb shipping weight.  We'll see
what happens.

The seller says it's serial #583 and he purchased it new in 1976. If 
that's true, it must have been sitting around in a music shop for 3 
or 4 years before he bought it. I bought #500 "new" around 1973, 
only to find out from Dallas Arbiter in NJ that it had previously 
been on tour.

That struck me as a bit odd as well. Mine is #581 and that's estimated
as dating back to about early 1972.

Really not that unusual for big-ticket keyboards.  Piano stores sometimes 
have to hold grands (especially full-sized ones) in inventory for several 
years before they find a buyer.

if i recall, martin told me that my m400 serial number 364 was
from around 1971 - just an estimate though.

Did anyone here pay $5100 + an exhorbitant S&H for this?

Bernie

I remember several years ago there were similar posts here by folks
wondering who paid $2900 for M400 #379 on eBay, also unrestored. 
Well, that would be me, and I recall feeling a mixture of relief that
I finally owned one, and concern that people seemed to think I'd
grossly overpaid to get it.

If the new owner is here, then you have my heartfelt congratulations.
 Don't look back.

The truth is that for most of us, the days of waiting until you happen
to come across one in a dusty basement where the owner has no idea
what the silly thing is are over.  If they ever existed, eBay put a
stop to that.  I waited *years*.  When the opportunity finally arose,
I did what I had to do and I'm totally satisfied with the decision.

Yes.  Nice guitar work Jamie.

Agreed, once again.  There are many sacrifices aside
from money that obsession will present.  I paid $1800
(US) for my EMI that had been through all the best
hands and eventually dismissed as unfixable.  I'd have
done anything for any mellotron and just had to make
it happen.  After $1000 and a lot of blood, sweat and
key-twisting later (and a few calls to Markus) it's
running pretty nicely.  More importantly, I learned a
tremendous deal about the problems invloved and feel I
can conquer just about any and all melltron foibles. 
Yes, I'd love an M400, but it just isn't within my
means.  Yes, I settled for an EMI, but I have a
mellotron, it works well, and that's more than most
can claim.
Cheers!

Gave up trying to find a 'tron by chance, so I
bought one on Ebay.  But, I have a buddy who is
extremely lucky at finding all sorts of unexpected
stuff at garage sales, auctions, and estate sales.  I
just handed over the search to him, and am hoping for
the best.  I FULLY expect him to find one (cheap),
whichever model it may be ;-)

A little overpriced maybe?

Certainly an unusual voice selection, it would be interesting to know what 
the band did with it.  And "M400N?"  N?  It does seem a pretty clean 
survivor except for the knob, so a 6K BIN with a pro instrument shipper for 
delivery included in the price probably isn't that far out of line with end 
result of the 4K+ instruments that have been snapped up of late.

okay, so it has a 'piano hinge' on the lid...

...but is that a sheet of copper on the inside of the lid?

and which motor card is that in there?


IMHO that's really not a bad 'buy it now' price, judging from
just the few pics there... but why the copper? was it picking
up transmissions from aliens or something?

Judging by the right rear photo, the lid doesn't seem to close 
evenly. I wonder if the cabinet is out of whack? It does look pretty 
clean though.

installing those 'piano hinges' is a very precise operation, and that's
probably why the lid is uneven - this one was likely not installed very
well...

Hi all-
 
    Looks like an SMS-3 card.  It's mounted wrong, of course, fins should be vertical.
 
    I think the copper was an RFI noise shield, and the user had a noisy electronic device sitting on the top.  
 
    Mine (#1221), was also missing a keypad arm.   The spring section of the arm must break easily.
 
 
 
    As you've seen, the "perfect" Chamby is baaaack.  Let's keep ignoring it, until it's free...

I see the seller of the M400 is also selling tapes.  (ebay 170235479076)
Not the entire frame, just individual tapes.  Buy it now for $50 each tape, in case you are just hapening to be missing a certain note of a String/Flute/Sax tape (a common combo which everyone has, I'm sure.  Oh yeah, which String or Flute or Sax are we talking about?)  Only 2 missing tapes.  That makes $1650.00 for all 33 of the tapes.  The frame and case are not for sale.
   Talk about a shot in the dark.

Damn.  I thought you were joking at first, Bruce.  Tell you what I'll 
do.  I'll sell my individual notes (and I've got all 35 of them!) for 
just $30 each - that's a savings of 40% compared to this clown - and 
will give the right buyer the entire set for just $900!  And they'll 
arrive in their very own cardboard box!  I'm ready to make deals and you 
just can't lose!

Hey John-
