Same tron. This time he added the tape info (usual 3 V's/Cello/Flute). No info given when I querried last time as to who gave it a once over. With no reserve, someone may get a deal here, in spite of the CMC-10.... Dan --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, "tron400" <tron400@...> wrote:

Trying to remember what the last MK II that surfaced went for at auction. I think it was from a Scottish recording studio, and didn't Brian Kehew end up with it? Can't remember if it was $12K or $20K, but that was before it went to Streetly(?) for its restoration and then shipping to the states.
The bottom line is these machines are extremely rare, and you'd be better off saving for a new M5000 from Streetly (dual manual, 48 different sounds), for, under the current exchange rate, less than $20,000. Of course, you may win the lottery. Sure, a MK II would be nice, but for less, you get much more current (and reliable) technology.
PS - you'll see an Ochestron long before that MK II shows up.

Seems to me that Streetly went to a lot of effort to get all of the musical features of the MkII w/o any of the (considerable) issues. The MkII looks like a product of it's time, and anything like a remake would be purely cosmetic. And does anybody want the original LH keyboard contents back? -tem

Hi all- Denver Colorado also had a Mellotron outlet in the '70s. A gentleman named Ed Scheaffer sold electronic keyboards out of his house on the west side of Denver. Quite a place to visit. He had the walls of his home modified to allow high sound volume inside, and not disturb the neighbors. It worked. He had Moog, ARP, Oberheim, RMI, Hammond, and a few other brands I can't recall. A friend and I visited him twice in my high school years, just to goof around with the synths. Surprised the hell out of me on the second visit when he had the Mellotron M400, and I couldn't keep away from it. I wonder what happened to that particular 'Tron. -Bruce D. --- On Sun, 1/2/11, Gary Brumm <gabru@comsec.net> wrote:

Happy New Year! The M5000 is an homage to the MKII. Same shape cabinet, push button controls, 48 sounds, internal speakers and spring line reverb but a little lighter. Hurray! The Memotron rack mount is formidable as is the Memotron. All sounds are from real instruments for authenticity and not master tapes. It is a genuinely great product from people we know trust. You may find this endorsement odd but there are no issues between us or commercial connections. They do their thing and we do ours with mutual respect. Selling through negativity is a trait of others! Best, Martin mellotronics.co.uk

Happy New Year!The M5000 is an homage to the MKII. Same shape cabinet, push button controls, 48 sounds, internal speakers and spring line reverb but a little lighter. Hurray!The Memotron rack mount is formidable as is the Memotron. All sounds are from real instruments for authenticity and not master tapes. It is a genuinely great product from people we know trust.You may find this endorsement odd but there are no issues between us or commercial connections. They do their thing and we do ours with mutual respect. Selling through negativity is a trait of others!Best,MartinHi all-Wishing can be dangerous in these digital times. The Memotron rack-mount is advertised as being configurable as 2 keyboards side-by-side, using an single large MIDI keyboard. It kinda captured my interest.-Bruce D.

Hi Bernie,
That is a common feature with MIDI instruments and makes much more sense than building two keyboards side by side
in the same cabinet. IMHO
Cheers,

Well, Mark I and II Mellotrons were that way, and it would be a lot simpler to duplicate that layout in a real 2 manual Mellotron than to build them over-under. Plus, in the M5000 if Streetly get around to duplicating that big fat-ass bench then we'll really be in business. Looks like a Mark II for that retro feeling. Plays as well or better than a Mark II. Has 10 times the reliability of a Mark II. What's not to like... as long as you have the bucks to afford one. Anyone can get a sampler... anyone. Not everyone can have an M4000 or M5000. I can configure the samples in my Triton ProX to duplicate a Mark II. Haven't yet, but I intend to right after I finish doing everything else on earth I can think of... (and no, I am not intending to expand stuff I can/need/want to do to outer space). I wish I could have a M5000, but I feel fortunate to have the 4000. In this economy, I don't think I could take delivery on one if I had to do so today. In a message dated 1/3/2011 1:18:02 P.M.

No offense gang, but if the M5000 is going to look like a Mark II, I don't want it. And mine's been ordered for a very long time. Tony

Why not just 2 400s or 4000s or MKIVs in a L config for better playability….not to mention portability.
Anyone with the money can get a sampler and anyone with the money can get a 4000 or 5000. The overwhelming
majority opt for the sampler even if they have the budget for the tape machine. If the mechanical limitations hadn’t forced the side
by side configuration I am sure they would have stacked the keyboards. I doubt the market would be much of anything for
a side by side Mellotron today….especially at $10K-$15K.

2011-01-03 by Gary Brumm
John, You missed my point completely. It was only that it ~had~ to be side by side due to the physical layout of the machine. My point was also that to me it would be more practical to have 2 400s logistically. An acoustic piano is a lot to haul around but it ~has~ to be that way unless a synth/sample solution is used. Same for a MKII ...sure it would be nice to have an original but to set out today to produce something like that would be impractical at best and a tiny market for sure. I have wanted a 400 since I was a kid and I am still intrigued by Mellotrons in general. I played and recorded with them back in the 70s when it was the only thing of its kind and I loved it. That's why I am here. But although I have an extensive keyboard set up I still can not justify the price of a current model for the few sounds I like and would use. Others would and do justify the cost and that's great for them. Please don't make me out to be some sort of anti Mellotron guy ...I'm not. I have found it more difficult to get Hammond and Piano samples that I like than violin/cello/flute samples that sound like authentic Mellotron. Most of the Tron recordings have so much reverb, distortion , or other processing added that it is sometimes far removed from the actual sound of the instrument. Someday....if the economy ever returns I would very much like to pick up a 400 and have it restored by Frank. I have been amazed at the craftsmanship he puts in to those old machines. I would not take it out for live gigs but would treat it like my vintage guitars ....with respect and care. Cheers, Gary

Admit it Gary, you don't like John. Today I received a shiny new capstan from Streetly for 525. I just finished setting the keys, pads, rollers and azimuths. It sounds amazing. I may put up a little video for a short time on you tube. The cabinet paint should be done by the end of the week and then I can put it all back together. It should go home a week from Saturday. Gary, I'd love to fix one up for you one of these days. As for the M5000, it's a Mellotronist's machine, not meant necessarily for touring, although I can't imagine it would be too much worse than toting a B-3 or C-3. It's meant to be played. I don't see Tony moving his from place to place, nor do I see Bernie doing so. If I had one, I'd do with it what I do with the M4000. Play it. Show it off to those who would know what they're looking at. Show it off to anyone who comes into the room where it's located whether they know what it is or not. Brag to everyone I know or meet in the music business that I have one. Drool on it. Wipe off the drool. Tinker with it. Frank In a message dated 1/3/2011 6:03:13 P.M.

Now that would be cool. You could hinge the two together so they could be straight, in a Vee, or like Gary suggested, in an "L-shape." The angle could be acute, obtuse or at 90 degrees. Think of the possibilities. Or you could stack one M400 on top of another. Think how weird that would look. Reach down to play one keyboard while reaching way up to play the other. When you have two M400s or M4000s, or even one of each, the possibilities seem endless. Frank In a message dated 1/3/2011 3:17:12 P.M.

-Makes me wonder, how many MkIIs are unaccounted for? (I also wonder how Mellotrons made it to California's Central Valley, my bet: 0)
I've got a pipe dream, that someday I'll have the money, and have the guys at Streetly build me a new MkII. The size and looks of those things command respect.

Having a two manual machine sounds a bit richer than one because you have two of everything.
Visually it's striking as well, because two manuals one above the other is not as surprising.
The tapes though in any two manual machine, must be in tune with each other - this is something that gets overlooked when swapping out tape sets.

Those are just MIDI zones and quite common today. My original point was that when done with the MK11 style Tron it was necessary to double the weight and bulk of the instrument.....basically gluing two 400s together. The Synergy had the floating split pioneered by Stoney Stockwell. I used to work with the company. That was a ground breaking instrument especially when coupled with the CP/M based Kaypro computer. Now you can only hear them on old Steely Dan, Hall & Oats, and of course Wendy (Walter) Carlos) recordings. It was a great keyboard for it's time that never got the respect it deserved. IMHO Cheers, Gary

Hey Tony,
Too bad you are on the other side of the country it sounds like you have an interesting collection of keyboards. I would love
to check it out (and of course get a Cuban sandwich J) but in this economy I will have to wait until I have a business reason
to take me that direction. (I also used to be a sports car enthusiast and love the exotics). I never had a 2600 but worked on a few
in the old days. My ARPs were limited to a few Odysseys, a String Ensemble, and a Quadra.
Cheers,
Gary

Plus the balance in case you guys get anymore ideas, lol.
I've been changing, re-casing and generally customizing my instruments since the early 70's, and have the associates to overcome this minor packaging issue.
On both sides of the pond too.
This kinda stuff is fun for me.

PS anyone with nice ARP 2600s, I need more than 2, so feel free to contact me off list..

That would be kinda like putting a Ferrari engine in a Ford Cortina with all of the original Cortina Instruments and controls. That would be something, wouldn't it?

I think a Variac might be a better idea.....bring it up slowly and look for excessive current draw....and of course smoke :).

My original point was that when done with the MK11 style Tron it was necessary to double the weight and bulk of the instrument.....basically gluing two 400s together. The Synergy had the floating split pioneered by Stoney Stockwell. I used to work with the company. That was a ground breaking instrument especially when coupled with the CP/M based Kaypro computer. Now you can only hear them on old Steely Dan, Hall & Oats, and of course Wendy (Walter) Carlos) recordings. It was a great keyboard for it's time that never got the respect it deserved.

On my M2, it gives the opportunity to play two sounds at once (playing counterpoint, etc.) Vance On 1/3/2011 7:36 PM, Chris Dale wrote: Having a two manual machine sounds a bit richer than one because you have two of everything. Visually it's striking as well, because two manuals one above the other is not as surprising. The tapes though in any two manual machine, must be in tune with each other - this is something that gets overlooked when swapping out tape sets.

This totally made my day. As I've been telling the people in my band, this plastic midi controller on a scissor stand commands no respect at live gigs. My spinnet at home with that controller sitting on the top would command some respect. The small angular M400 would command some respect. The massive furniture that is the MkII would totally command respect. That the M5000 looks like it, wow, count me on the future customers list. Internal speakers too? I love the horrendously ratty sound of the built in speakers on the MkII, or at least what I hear of it in recordings. I petition to see a photo of it! -Sean --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, tronbros <tronbros@...> wrote:
