Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Re: [Chicago Mellotron
Just saw this Chicago Craigslist post
The ad states "I have a vintage Mellotron M-400s for sale. It comes with the original tape set. Flute, 3 violins and choir. I'm the 3rd owner, It's in great shape, fully functional no work needed. Everything works great, functions and plays as it should. It also has the upgr aded SMS motor board and comes with extra a belt. Currently the original legs are removed and the mellotron is on wheels for easy maneuverability but the original legs are included. I also have a muff cover, schematics, manual and maintenance manual for it. This is really as complete of a package you'll find.
It's a very cool and unique instrument and really fun to play and only 1,800 originally made. Samples and plugins definitely do not do the Mellotron sound justice. The real thing sounds way better.
Asking $4500. Cash only and price is firm. I'm not really interested in trades but you can try me. Nothing music related please as I'm getting out of the music business.
Thanks"
And no I am n ot the seller nor do I know the seller.
