Yesterday I was finally able to see the Classic Artist Moodies DVD.

At around 1 hour into the film, when they’re discussing In Search Of The Lost Chord, we see what looks like footage from

some Mellotron MKI / MKII promo: we the machine cycling, keys moving, the lid sliding in , springs going up and down etc.

Anyone got any idea what the source of this material is and if there’s a full length version anywhere?

Yes - we own the footage.  It was shot for local television back in 1964 and Les had the 16mm film stored away.  We let Classic Artists use it for the Moodies DVD.
 
Best,
