Mellotronists

On the synth yahoogroup I started a big discussion on the "Dream 
Weaver" song from 75 (the last song in the world I thought anyone 
would take seriously). The attached message below he mentions the 
Solina String Ensemble. (was used in the song) I was just wondering 
if anyone here has seen one of these or it's equivalent ARP String 
Section? I want one of those babys!

I see that it has been answered a few times now,
it was definitely a Solina String Ensemble.
I picked one up very cheap a few years ago, it was
one of the last batches (led in switch) and it came
with the original flightcase. Solina's were made
in my neighborhood town just about 10km away.
Lately I've seen a midi kit for it and I'm wondering
if I will get it. Don't want to mess up the machine.
I doubt it can be reproduced on any synth...I know a
few people who did it on a Nord Modular but it didn't
come close (to my ears anyway).
