Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Mellotronists

Here we go again!! Is there really any need for all this nastiness
when the facts about this one tron were dubious as stated at best?
I go with Jerry on this. "there will always be a Streetly camp and a
DK-camp" and it looks like there will always be bad feeling between
them. I'm not really interested in all the bad history crap and I really
wish the insults and name-calling could be kept private. The purpose
of this list (I thought) was to provide a help and interest forum for
people who are passionate about Mellotrons but if people want to
sling mud at each other they should do it elsewhere. Regarding the
two camps; I for one plan to sit in a place I can get the best service
for my tron and at the moment that's right between the two. I have
no experience of Dave or Markus's ability to quickly fix or provide
technical info on M300's so I rely on JB for that and so far he's fixed
electronic problems very swiftly. Also you can phone him seemingly
at any time and he'll be very helpful.
However - I've just had some dealings with DK, I spoke to him on
the phone recently. He is certainly still passionate about the
Mellotron but does leave most things up to Markus these days
because he too is fed up of the mud-slinging. - He could not have
been more helpful and in a way that really he needn't have been.
Thanks Dave (hopefully that will filter through to him).
So we have a choice of two main suppliers that you can use for
different things mellotronic - that has to be a good thing!
