If you want parts, Just buy them directly from Streetly Electronics (Mellotron).  If you want service you have Frank Stickle who is local to you, Jerry Korb who is in New England but travels you way often.  Of course you can can ship it to the UK and have it serviced by the people who built it at Streetly.  All three will do a perfect job.

Subject: [Mellotronists] Request Data for Mellotron Motor

 
I have a pair of M400s that have the original motor drive boards. They are in storage, but I would like to start restoring them now. One thing I would like to do is replace the motor drive board with something that does not sag, i.e. will support a couple of fistful of notes without slowing down. Does anyone have any data on the correct voltage range and the typical current draws for different numbers of simultaneous notes? There are a number of DC motor controllers on the market for industrial applications, and I'm hoping to find one to match up with the Tron's needs.

best,
Richard
Troy, VA
