Hi John and Gang,     M400/863 has an SMS board . "4" , Markus ?
Motor support loose on RH side. Can't tell if "L" brackets are loose
or not.   Best to assume stuff is knackered and improve the situation
from that perspective.

Cosmetically, all those of us with Mellotron splinters in our hands
have seen worse. Floor-pan could be warped/loose or both.

Y'all see that stain just above the flywheel ?  Beer, grunge, or  (ugh..) ?
#863 is a good candidate for full refurb .  Haven't seen any
Sound Sales stickers anywhere....whew !

Good Luck all bidders !
