Clay (et al),
It went something like...
JB and myself have been tireless supporters of the original EMI tape used in Mellotrons by Streetly. This stock had and still has the best drive characteristics of all formulations. It will stabilise a machine that isn't in the best shape and reduce wobblies significantly. The good news is that after a dearth of this tape for the past five years we now have genuine EMI stock available in 3/8" format.
So here's the deal..........
We are offering a tape amnesty. Send us the old middle C from your troublesome tapes and we'll replace the full set at half price(plus p+p) on original EMI stock. You can even change the selection. Please quote your machine serial number when ordering. Thanks.
... which seems pretty reasonable to me, but what would I know ;-)
All the best,
Norm
