Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

I know how Bradmatic, Streetly, Chamberlin, etc. came to be and how
they started up, but a guy only manufacturing a mere handful of units
makes one wonder about what inspired him to design and manufacture
this brief run of Birotrons. Did he hear a similar machine and wanted
to make his own smaller version? Is he a musician? How did this
venture fare for him financially? How did he connect with Wakeman?
Who did he line up to make them...was there a factory with hired
hands? I'd sure like to see an interview on the 'Net with this guy
and how he got motivated and followed through! I get the impression
this is a one-man effort, and I'm sure he's got one heckuva tale to
tell!
