Subject: What the hell is this?

Ahh yes the Mellotronics PEG module! I've only ever seen one
before in the flesh and that's at the National Museum for
Photography Film and TV and Bradford, UK (where they also have a
very nice early black SFX console they let me play with - but sadly
in store and unlikely to ever be displayed). I think I've got (or had) a
spec sheet or something on these somewhere. These were the
forerunner to the cartridge-based SFX and jingle-players used in
just about every radio studio in the 70's/80's so they came after the
SFX consoles. I don't know how many were made or if they made at
Streetly or what - only JB would know.
