Perhaps it is this one (though it's in the Netherlands?)?

  Hey Frank,



  Have you or others on this group ever considered a Mellotron registry database to try to account for the ones still in existence.  

  I have an Alembic bass and they maintain a database of all of the instruments they have produced and you can access it and enter 

  your instrument info on their website.  It would be interesting to see the SN & history (if known) of the Mellotrons out there.  

  ….just a thought…..



  Gary

……and with the relatively small number produced as well as the relatively high price many of these instruments should have 
very interesting histories.  Alembic keeps a record of the initial sale and also what exotic woods and customizations were done 
and owners down the line can voluntarily update the records as they change hands.

I think that's a great idea too Gary!

Mine's history lies mostly with me, but I'd still like to know more.
