 Couldn´t agree more...!I hatenew bands who use Mellotrons.Why not have a section in the book with interviewsof old reunited ( " we have never sounded better " ) bands who use samples? It could be both informativeand enlightening to all of us. Orbetter still, those who don't even bother with 'Tron samples, stickingto generic sampled strings. Rick who?

Closest experiences I know of about Mellotrons and  heat-sources
were observed in Tronto-2000 and Philly-2001. ....and more recently....

During initial evaluation/test, SFX/6's   RH cycling motordid emit
wispy puffs of smoke seconds before overheating and expiring.
Not to worry, "we can rebuild him......Better,stronger, faster......."
