This technique can be replicated nicely using a processor box with a 
detune effect.

Wasn't Jon's original question about EQ?

When recording, I use a 10 band EQ and trim off the bottom end 100%
(The first 3 bands).  In the 1st two bands there's just hummm, 
rumble,thumps and trucks.  With some 'tron tapes, the 3rd band 
contains useful sound.

Digital multi-effects boxes AND digital recording effects plug-ins 
are mostly very good for Mellotron output.  A dash of Lexicon's 
Leslie effect (rotary) with a pinch of dark plate reverb is...to die 
of.
