Anyway, the point is that the mellotron doesn't have an exclusive licence on unreliability. Other instruments including the aforementioned Emulators, Moogs, etc. all seem to have had their woes from time to time, it's just that you don't seem to hear so much of those.
 
I did a gig years ago where my MiniMoog went sharp while the guitar went flat and we tried to play a harmony part. Ouch.
