Hmmmm...feral Mellotrons. Is it true they eat tape to

I have heard that many feral Mellotrons have been known to be infested with the dreaded EMI tape worm. you can tell them because the look a little rough around the edges. Should you come across one, before bringing it home, have it checked by an expert. And when handling it, always wear rubber gloves.
