I was finding it difficult to respond to a thread that I innocently
wrote several days ago. Jeff, Jim & Janet, & Fritz were very kind in
attempting to help but it was to no avail. The last response that I
read was from some cretin who described me as a loser, and found it
unreal that people were taking the time to assist a
fellow "mellotronist" . I also find this saddddddddd.
My story that is still traveling in cyberspace was to confirm my
mello is indeed a M400, # 530. As to updates , only a 2nd set of
tapes (violins, male & female chorus & St Paul's Cathedral pipe
organ, with one key, a gong. The story was a sojourn to London's
Mellotronics, Ltd which was next door to the Peoples Republic of
China's Consulate. M.Ltd was located on the 2nd floor and when I
entered a very small office, sitting in the middle of the room was a
plexiglas double manual mello.with several frames leaning against it.
The names of Banks& Wakeman were written on 2 of the frames. I had
previously contacted M.Ltd through Dallas Arbiter in Upper Saddle,
NJ. M.Ltd rushed the tapes on a 5 day order and I picked up the new
tapes and flew back to the states. I have limited my thread to bare
facts, dropping the costs and the interaction of the staff d/t space
restraints and the fact that one cretin spoiled this site for me
personally. I live a quiet life and I have always tried to avoid
interaction with slugs. So this is my farewell. mellotronko.
Don't leave. But do get a sense of humor. No one on this list means any harm. Yours was an interesting story, well told. Perhaps you should linger longer and discover what a great bunch of losers we all are here, where no tale doesn't go unappreciated.
I am reminded of a song...
