Subject: Proud new owner of M400 #710

From: "lilainjil" <andym@...>

Just thought I would let you all know that I am now in possession of a mellotron
M400... serial number #710. Will have to replace the old CMC motor drive.
Otherwise it is in pretty good condition. It is missing the track selector switch (where
can I find one of these?) and the small blocks beside the keyboard need to be
repainted (?).

Tape set: flute/violins/choir. I'll be looking at a second tape set sooner or later.
Any recommendations? I do like the sound of Fritz Doddy's alternate set mentioned
in the Mellotron book: medieval woodwinds/M300B strings/bass accordion+cello
split. Maybe swap the medieval woodwinds with bass clarinet.
