Mellotronists

Hi John,

The listing says that the motor drags. It could be a CMC motor in 
need of replacing. Also, the original power supply is missing? What 
does that mean? 30 year old tapes, too. Might be a good idea to ask 
Martin what a motor replacement would cost. Maybe a new set of 
tapes, too, just in case.

Bernie
