Hi Tony, please find attached a zipfile of pictures of my Mellotron.

I think Edgar painted this one black but it originally shipped in white as it's white on the inside. But the few bits of footage I have seen on Youtube of T Dream all have black painted Mellotrons.

Martin could probably shed some more light on that though!!

Enjoy the pictures Tony

Hi Lee,
 
The Internet has been quite odd lately, so no problem over the delay.
 
I'd quite like to see the pictures!
 
Martin is a good friend to me too, whom I have never met in person, and I'll bet he can come up with what constituted the original tape racks. Keep trying to come up with a trip over again, with the sole destination being England. I have business with Robin at EMS too.
 
Not cancelling my M4000s order, still trying to wrap my head around 48 sounds to mix and match!
 
Hope to see those pics soon!
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Tony #510
