Hey Dan,
Steve met me half way in Kingston. He's a great guy to deal with. And we were able to reach a price that we both agreed on.
And who's kidding who, these things don't go up for sale in my area to often (or ever).
Martin from Streetly sent me Jerry's email. I'll be sending him out an email shortly to try and schedule a time that he could service #1325.
Are there any online resources that show how to do maintenance or repairs on M400's. I've searched YouTube and the most i've found is how to switch tape frames.
And is there possibly a forum online for Mellotron Maniacs?
And Dan if you have a Tron for sale at a better price, i'll find a buyer! (lol)
Thanks for the response!
Cheers, Alex

New rollers, motor control card and a going over by nearby Jerry should have it purring nicely. Congrats!
