Hi Chris.

I'm amazed you've even heard of that!

But no, it isn't the same one. To my shame we sold that one a couple of years after finishing the 1159 album.

I bought this one in a right old state back in the 90's, and J & M worked their magic big time. It had a couple of Gentle Giant \Live stickers on, so maybe it was theirs in a former life.

Cheers.

Andy, is this the same Mellotron on the 11:59 album, 'sacrifice of praise'?

Hi all.

It is with an extremely heavy heart, and much sadness that I'm going to have to sell my M400. The fact is that I am gong to be moving into much smaller accommodation early next year, and I simply won't have room for it. Those who have known me over the years, know that this original EMI has been totally rebuilt by John and Martin, and installed into a brand new white case. It's also had new set of tapes, Mk2 3 violins, Mk2 Flutes and tuned Mixed Brass B and a brand new motor, so is very stable. Thanks to J & M, it plays better than it ever did when new! It is a dream machine.
There has seldom been a time in my adult life when I've been without a real tron, but as time takes its toll and situations change, difficult decisions need to be addressed. I wanted to offer it to my uk buddies here first before I go down the eBay route. PM me if interested.
Kind regards to all.
