Dear All,
!/4" Tape Conversion Kits are in stock complete with the alternative selector plate for the headblock. The only problem with all this is recording 1/4" tapes at the unique mellotron azimuth and we all know what happens when you don't get that right. But you're welcome to have a go!
Just to let you know that the Bradley, Smith and Soukal's highly esteemed tape frames, fully assembled, laced with EMI tape stock with recordings of your choice are available to the world within fourteen days of placing an order. The frame is supplied in a gorgeous tri walled cardboard box, ideal for future storage and have newly engineered rollers that run so true, it fair takes your breath away. Order now to avoid constipation.
You will notice that we have added a new member to the team, Mr Brian Soukal. He is installed as our resident toolmaker and engineer. Brian is a man with a lifetime's experience in engineering and he will be producing all the jigs, dies and tools for the production of Streetly 'trons later this year. T550s and standard M400s are on the way.
One other thing, having your headblock azimuth aligned makes a hell of a difference to the sound of your tron. Those notes that never sound good no matter what you do return with a splendour only dreamt of. Anyone who has had this done by us will testify to the results. All we ask is that you send us your headlock and we will return it within 10 days complete with any dodgy heads replaced, the plastic plug removed and a good metal one attached and all the heads gleaming and in correct azimuth.
That's all for now,
Best,
Martin
