If you are going to fix tuning issues, there must also be some
temptation to fix bias pops and drop-outs. These are NOT the things
that give mellotron sounds "character"....They are just a pain in the
ass.

I would not have any concern if you used digital editing to fix these
WARTS. Some people might think that A-D conversion, digital editing,
then transfer back to analog would somehow destroy the analog-ness of
the sounds. (Desecration of the Holy Tapes!)

Use good converters and s/w. No worries.
