No. Just go to the main page. Look under the little photo of the Mellotron in the upper left corner and you will see a little smiley face. Under that, in blue, you will see the word "pics." Click on "pics and that will take you to my photo albums. Then just click on the albums to open them and view all that is within. Frank In a message dated 4/2/2010 3:47:32 A.M.

Thanks Frank- Nice photos, very educational. Judging from the spillbox detail, tobacco stain build-up was a major problem (and a messy cleanup). Crazy. In what kind of environment was #1342 kept to get that kind of build-up? -Bruce D. --- On Thu, 4/1/10, lsf5275@aol.com <lsf5275@aol.com> wrote:

Who knows. Back in the 70's, studios and stages were filled with smokers. I have no idea where that machine had been, only that it's current owner at the time was a non-smoker. When I rebuild these machines, in nearly every case I remove substantial amounts of tobacco residue. It's disgusting. I use a lot of ammonia and a lot of "Purple Power" when cleaning them. These days all of the nuts, bolts and screws go into an industrial ultrasonic cleaner that I purchased. I also use it to clean the key spring and pinch rollers as well as the pressure pads. It adds a whole new level to pinch roller reconditioning too. Everything comes out all sparkly most of the time. Knocks about 5 hours off the overall time it takes me to restore one of these things. I still clean and polish everything that can't be cleaned in the ultrasonic bath. So the end result is that when they're done they smell good and are squeeky-clean.

A friend of mine just bought one of the OP-1 portable minisynths. Hasn't shipped yet, but there are plenty o' vids online Oh my, it's a little gamechanger. Just a sick amount of fun in that little thing. Daddy wants one! fritz

That keyboard looks like it might be a bit awkward to play. Have you played one? I would imagine you can MIDI in a standard keyboard. It would fit nicely in the luggage for traveling eh? Gary

No Midi port, just midi over USB. I'm kinda digging the limitations of the little keyboard. That synth is more of a knob twiddly box in my estimation. fritz

Does it have an input for a guitar or mic? If so it looks like it would be nice to use with a laptop to throw together ideas quickly when the mood strikes.
I’ve got a little program on my work laptop called EnergyXT that is a small recording program that allows me to easily export tracks to my Cubase machine.
It looks like it might be a cool portable tracking device.
