We all thought Gary Schwarz's work on mellotrons was shoddy but we have an M400 in that has been customised by Frank Levi, another Sound Sales delinquent. This chap has made a capstan wiper from the little brass label retainer you find on old filing cabinet doors, fitted strengthening brackets made out of an alloy akin to Plasticine, made a spacer to keep the belt straight out of an old pencil rubber rather than solve the issue, used cavity wall filler to keep the connections on the SMS2 which he mounted so they would fall off and poured solder onto joints from a crucible rather than using a soldering iron. So our friends in the US, if your mellington bears the sticker of Frank Levi, Keyboard service technician, be very much afraid. God almighty!Martin Smith told me that in Britain it's considered a compliment. (or something like that)<countdowncunt. gif>In a message dated 7/12/2010 4:22:21 P.M.
