Even finding ground loop problems in the circuitry - she obviously knows her electronics, (Mellotron's or not!) & seems she did good work on this machine.What baffled ME is how FILTHY this poor thing is! Looks like someone left it out in the rain for years or something! I did recall Frank's story of rats having lived in one he'd had in for rebuilding. (Am I right on that, Frank?) Man, just cleaning this one (#1344 from what I could see, etched on the keyboard frame) would take 3 times longer than all her electronic and other work!Thanks for passing this on. Pretty cool. Some of the comments behind it: pretty stupid. Anyway...HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone! I hope you all in the east will be thawing out soon. It's been brutal, hasn't it?Cheers,Berington
