Hi Guys,
I have just acquired a mellotron M400. The serial is probably 1111, but this can't be confirmed yet because one of the previous owners was kind enough to remove the serial-plate. But nr. 1111 is written on allot of the components, so I guess thats it. Can anyone confirm M400 #1111 being a Dutch mellotron? Or does anyone know about #1111 existing somewhere at all??
The state of the thing isnt very good yet. It still has the old CMC10 inside, which Ive got to get rid of first. But there is probably more going wrong.
I cant play more than 1 note at a time, the keys get really heavy to push when I try and from the 3 notes he only plays 2 (or sometimes none at all) and they sound very uneven and squeaky. Does this have anything to do with the old motor?
Further more, I just broke my forth tape in 3 days. They all seem to break at different places. Could their be any explanation for this, other than that the tapes are probably as old as the machine itself?
Please help me sort this out.
Thanx
Matthijs
