You're right!

My first one was scruffy but worked reasonably well. I bought it at ashop called the Music & Hi-Fi Exchange in Kentish Town Road in NorthLondon for £120. I then saw an advert for a (badly!!) restored 'Trononce owned by Manfred Mann's Earthband for £400. This one came with acouple of frames with sax sounds as well as the standard frame, so Isold my original for what I paid for it and thought I'd done well! Thesecond machine never really worked very well, and one tape was missingin the standard frame.


That would be almost imposible here... finding a mellotron M400... (and restored! nothing less). I think I can count with the fingers of my hands the mellotrons sold here in the 70's, so the only way for us spanish to get one seems to get a new mark VI :-(.
The same happens with other vintage machines as vox organs, hammonds, etc...

You'll have a lifetime of fun with yours!!

Well, I hope so :-).
