Hello Charles and Gang,   That modified 1/4" 2-track "Narumotron"
with stereo heads is quite a bit of gear. Another "one-off"  item.

Mellotron is translated as such, since the Japanese phonetic alphabet
is lacking the  "l"  sound.     Foundthis out many years ago ,
working at Sharp Electronic's Warehouse. This enabled me to get
my first Merotron in 1973.  I also acquired a new nickname fromthe
Japanese staff.
