The hole is going to get a gray-tinted Plexiglas door fitted to it. There  
will also be a gray-tinted Plexiglas back panel. The Unicorn panel has been  
preserved and will stay with this Mellotron. I'm just modernizing the look. 
I  imagine I'll do something with the flywheel... maybe some kind of art on 
it that  you can see when the window is open.

You should put an optical illusion of some kind on the flywheel.

The day of the Ft. Hood tragedy, my wife and I were at our son's
graduaton from Ft. Leonard Wood, MO.  Security was pretty tight.  201
men and women from 41 States took the oath and a a brand new PFC from
India was sworn in as a US citizen.  I hate the wars in the Middle East,
but am very proud of the soldiers who volunteer.  Sorry for thr rant.
