Has anyone on the board here Stateside shipped or air-freighted their
Mellotron from the US to the Streetly gentlemen for refurbishing?  If so,
what was the ballpark figure for delivery and packaging costs?  If someone
on the board has done the transatlantic repair delivery, did you crate or
Anvil-road case the Mellotron? I have dreamed of getting my Tron sounding
the way it should, and after years of just user maintenance (keyboard
adjustments, that sort of thing), I am convinced that it needs the full
restoration and go-over (tape head azimuth, bent pad spring angles
corrected, EMI tape stock, all parts aligned flush in the cabinet, power
supply and motor card re-capped, that sort of thing).  Of course, since
Streetly will be producing new units on order, I would like to gauge which
is more cost-efficient - a restoration and round-trip freight for my current
Tron or buy a new one with only one-way freight.  (not that I really have
the funds for either alternative, just would like to know which would come
out costing me less)...
Hi All!
