Mellotronists

Here we go again!! Is there really any need for all this nastiness 
when the facts about this one tron were dubious as stated at best?
I go with Jerry on this. "there will always be a Streetly camp and a 
DK-camp" and it looks like there will always be bad feeling between 
them. I'm not really interested in all the bad history crap and I really 
wish the insults and name-calling could be kept private. The purpose 
of this list (I thought) was to provide a help and interest forum for 
people who are passionate about Mellotrons but if people want to 
sling mud at each other they should do it elsewhere. Regarding the 
two camps; I for one plan to sit in a place I can get the best service 
for my tron and at the moment that's right between the two. I have 
no experience of Dave or Markus's ability to quickly fix or provide 
technical info on M300's so I rely on JB for that and so far he's fixed 
electronic problems very swiftly. Also you can phone him seemingly 
at any time and he'll be very helpful.
However - I've just had some dealings with DK, I spoke to him on 
the phone recently. He is certainly still passionate about the 
Mellotron but does leave most things up to Markus these days 
because he too is fed up of the mud-slinging. - He could not have 
been more helpful and in a way that really he needn't have been. 
Thanks Dave (hopefully that will filter through to him).
So we have a choice of two main suppliers that you can use for 
different things mellotronic - that has to be a good thing!
