Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Mellotron M- 400S - Completely restored - Now on e-ba...

From: lsf5275@aol.com

Locking casters on bottom of feet. Preexistent hole cut into the side by someone who cared little, if any, for the cabinet, years of abuse and modification by people with little or no understanding of mechanics, electronics or the properties of wood (or aesthetics). Brought back to life and returned to service by two people who cared (me and Scott). Lovingly restored after 120 plus hours of fucking around trying to get it right and with a final appearance that came to me in a dream (really)
