Mellotronists

Greetings All,

I'm new to the Mellotron community and find myself in need of some 
M400 parts.  What is the proper procedure for obtaining them?  Am I 
supposed to be pre-approved by Streetly before they will sell me 
anything?  Also, do they require a background check and a sworn 
affidavit in order to verify that I've never posted 
anything "negative" about them on the internet? 

I believe I'm worthy to purchase tron parts and I don't think 
I've pissed anybody off at Streetly (yet).  However, I can't be sure 
because I've never kissed Martin's ass.  Is that a requirement too?

What should I do?  I need tape heads.  35 of them.

Regards,
Jim
