Subject: Re: [Mellotronists] Re: eBay 4-Track report

From: tronbros@...

Whoever buys the 4 track has a challenge ahead of them.  Because only 4 were built, they were still in the prototype stage and putting the one right that we restored was a bloody nightmare.  Not for the faint hearted to say the very least.  The number of poorly jigged and aligned components including a bent capstan and tape storage box that sat at a ridiculous angle to the capstan etc. etc. means that these are not easy machines to work on.  And the washingmachine cabinet is liable to rip your knuckles at any moment.  Howver, once they are right...they sound good. 
 
Best,
 
Martin
