Greetings, Interesting article on full-length LP tunes.....

The Mellotron pictured is the rare 4-Track model, of which only
4 were made. That photo was heisted(or borrowed) from that
of Robert Laughton who still owned the unit at the time.

All the knobs were vol/pan/3-band EQ for each of the 4-preamps
used in that particular model. It also was made in the USA in
Southbury Conn. An aluminum gutter/sheetmetal shop now occupies
that former location of Bomar Fabricators.

40 seconds,playing time???.....Geez, someone should contact the
author of that article and inform him of the gross error. 8-seconds
to all Mellotron afficiandos.

Happy summer to all. Cheers, Jerry K.
