The Mellotron Group

Blue Mellotron exposes wood for the first time in 35 years or so...   There 
is still quite a bit of prep work to do. The machine in the cart goes in  
it. The cabinet will be painted this coming weekend.
 
Ready? Aim...

What! The fact that it sounds great, holds pitch and has a feather-light  
keyboard touch isn't enough? 
 
Actually Bill, I have considered doing something like that. The problem is  
that the blue you see is electric blue and could cause a seizure when the  
cabinet is opened by the unsuspecting.

I think it would look cool if the inside was kept blue and  the outside was 
white with maybe blue trim.  Obviously, not my machine or  choice, but it 
would make this one have a certain chatacter not emulated by  other  
Mellotrons.

Man, how many Mellotrons have you got?

Currently there are 4 in the shop and two more due in by Friday. I  also 
have a black 400 and my M4000 in the next room. The 4-track is awaiting new  
tapes and is in the midst of restoration. It should be ready to go in a week 
or  two. The white 400 just arrived and is awaiting disassembly. The rest 
are in  various stages of restoration. My shop is pretty large.
