We've all discussed theMellotron's history and origins often here.
Its inspiration from theChamberlin, etc. The contemplated name "Franson",
instead of Mellotron at the very beginnings.
Please see included photo with this message. I've included the MK-II
Mellotron waterslide decal atop a paper label from a 1927 USA
tube/valve manufacturer in the Golden Days of early radio .
Resemblance is uncanny and TOO close for coincidence !
...Something to research, perhaps ?? Your input fromall sources
is heartily invited. Cheers, -JK-
