Frank,
I'm not a spokesperson for Streetly, so you'll have to ask Martin
those questions. I'm sure that the folks who have ordered the
M4000's or who have inquired about them know what the price is.
If you were to design a Mellotron, would you start with the cabinet?
As an experienced restorer of Mellotrons, I would be willing to bet
that you think the guts are more important than the cabinet design.
