If you're getting frustrated in your attempts to purchase a Mellotron
in reasonable shape, perhaps one of these will be of interest:

Note the rat carcass on one of the turntables.  And the 120 VACon
the 1/4-inch phone jacks.

Hi Don, Thanks for that referral. Holy-Frankenstein,Batman !

Even when buildingmy first science-fair elec. stuff at age
8, never didI wire something which resembled that !
Looks like amusical torture device . Betcha the rats died
upon hearingthe first bars of  "We've Only Just Begun....."

Woulda loved tosee a sales brochure touting its "features."

P.S:  Theunit came from Grandpa Munster's bsmt. lab.
