I bought it in non-working condition around 15 (?) years ago and fortunately it was easy to fix. Since then I’ve used it mostly for my own musical doodles, but it has also been used by others. For example in a concert of Medeski Martin & Wood, and also by the Foo Fighters in a session for Dutch TV (see it in use at http://youtu.be/B_zC24Liq3A?t=24m46s). At that time mine was apparently the only working Mellotron in the Netherlands, and the Foo Fighters required one or they wouldn’t come. It was a really fun session to attend, and awesome to see them in action!
