start all over again. Don't know what else to do.

You need (and you have to imagine the trumpet fanfare here) the other JB, meaning John Bradley, who very likely had something to do with the building of your mellotron. Only he can tell you EXACTLY what's wrong and how to fix it. Usually this involves a ball peen hammer and a cold steel chisel, but in your case, it might be something less drastic.
