The below response is what I received when I had some questions for the Ebay seller on the Mellotron. Hoax? Should not have been listed? Bring it on...
My apologies,
When I listed this item I was promised
the mellotron from a reliable source. However I
avoided mentioning specific details about it
because I had not yet a chance to examine it
personally. I have since had that opportunity
and after having done so can not honestly offer
this item for resale. In fact I have refused
delivery of the item and am not in possession of
it. For whatever interest I have caused I am truly
sorry, but at this time it would be wrong of me to
offer this item for resale when in fact i know that
it is not worthy of anyone's attention. I am
respectfully requesting that it be cancelled from
it's current listing. My sincere apologies for
jumping the gun and having listed it before I
examined it or had full possession.
