...flows through my mind...
But my eyes can only see an EBay listing that taunts me with the possibility
of supporting the lyrics mentioned.
I don't think that this is the same instrument that was retracted from ebay
this past weekend. It appears to be in better order, is located on the
other side of the US, and includes a few extras that, I think, a Mellotron
fan would interest a true Mellotron fan.
I am concerned, however, that the seller has only 2 feedback responses -
both as a buyer. On the other hand, the seller does have several other
items for sell, all of which are related to music production/recording. By
the description, it sounds like the seller is legitamite.
I have some questions for you tron owners:
Do you need to de-magnetize the heads on a regular basis? How about head
alignment - I'm sure that the azimuth has some effect on the high frequency
response (...woo hoo, don't we sound technical, now?...)
I am also curious, how do 3 sounds get stored on one tape? Is the frame
shifted to accomodate each tone; one sound a bit to the left, another a bit
to the right, and the third is dead center?
Thanks, in advance
(Optimistically) Future Mellotron owner,

ps. Check out the new Metaphor CD!
pss. If anyone has worked with Frank in Mellotron renovation, please send
me an email. I think I may use his services and would like to know,
privately, about your experiences. Thanks again - may the your (7th)
Sojourn to the Krimson Cing present you with Wonderous Stories.
[...I like Wonderous Stories just fine. But I like the last track on that
disc, "Awaken", even better. Sure, it is a bit over the top - but it is a
great listen on a calm, saturday afternoon - just before dusk when you're
about to meet up with your romantic interest and you've accomplished
something in the week prior that makes you proud and humble all at the same
time...]

Don't think it is, but it may have had its teeth 'fixed' by the same
