Hi-
   A nice find.  Another Rocky Mountain 'tron.  Mine came to Loveland CO from Indiana a few years ago.  The only other one I knew of was one at a Denver dealer back in the mid 70's.
 
  Ahh, the high mountains.  I love hiking the areas around treeline altitude.

From an e-mail correspondence with artist/composer Thom Pace: "The studio where we recorded the movie soundtrack and theme song was an old church that had been converted to a studio and went by the name "Sound Column Studio".....It was in Salt Lake......We rented the Mellotron which I played for the soundtrack, and used it for about 2 days putting in the strings and flute.....Yes, with the budget we had to work with I am SURE that SUNN [Classic Films] would not have payed for a Mellotron if it was out of state! I know that it came from the local area, so I am quite sure that you have the Mellotron that I used on the soundtrack."

I'm humbled and stoked....!!
