Andy, you'll have to trust Frank on this one cause he's reeeaaalllly, really old and also probably witnessed Edison screwing in his first light bulb. Also, he once wrote a book about Mellotrons although I think he mighta been too cheap to put color photos in it.
 
I believe him! I believe him! Just seems a weird thing, to do, that's all.  :-)
