I. never thought I would say this BUT if you are going down the rackmount road, get the Memotron version.  The sounds come from actual mellotrons, not clean as a whistle master tapes and the layerings, on the fly memory settings so you can store banks,  make for one hell of a machine.  We have no involvement but having listened I know what WE would choose from versatility and authenticity.

If you get two of them you would have M4000DDs and that would be an impressive rack indeed.

Looks wonderful Frank, if I could afford it I would ship #1565 off to you tomorrow, as it is I think the M4000D rack will be for me if it ever sees the light of day at a reasonable price.

I document nearly everything. When they pick up their machines my clients get a CD with hundreds of photos broken down into disassembly and reassembly of individual components. They also get a special instruction pack that gives them a specific maintenance routine as well as instructions on how to keep the keyboard in peak adjustment. Since about 2007 I have also made some short videos that I send them letting them see where I am in the process.
 
This is the 35th machine I have worked on.

Really nice Frank!  Do you document all of your restorations?  

How many have you done over the years?

I have posted this video on you tube. It is private so please don't embed or link to it. It will only be available for a while. I made it as a progress video for a John Hammaren, for whom I am restoring an M400. Since the video was shot, I am quite a bit farther along. I will post a few more private videos as I go.
