I rejoined the list to get reconnected with the Mellotron crowd. I hadn't really paid it much attention the last few years or so. As we all know these things crave attention. So, I rejoined the list hoping to recapture "the feeling" or have an amicable separation. Well, there was a post that someone REALLY wanted a Mellotron and he seemed to know more about the maintenance and upkeep of them than me. After a few exchanges of emails and a phone call, two things became apparent. 1) He knew WAY more than me about the Mellotron. 2) He would actually play it more than five times per year. He now has 1407 and the 'Tron world will be better for it!

PS, If I ever win a big Powerball Lottery (over $100 Million), I'm going to buy a Mk II for the church and try to hire Mike Pinder to teach the Church organists! Is that a "pipe" dream or what?
