Mellotronists

This kind of reminds me of a small hour-long weekly series that
launched on PBS TV a couple years ago...these two guys ran around the
countryside in a converted ambulance, and stopped in at every thrift
store, flea market and garage sale they happened across. Their
adventures were based around looking for weird stuff, including rare
kitsch erotica/exotica and hometown LP's, bakelite radios, toy cars,
cool clothes, and some one-of-a-kind things that they came across,
like an old Makaha skateboard, a Hohner melodica, and an autographed
bowling ball. Well, after about the third adventure, the ambulance
began breaking down, and the lads themselves had to pull over and sell
everything they picked up.

So, I guess that's why the show didn't continue.

They should have got some underwriting/sponsors...like maybe Mattel,
Rhino Records, Casio, Magnavox, Nickel Ads...y'know...someone in the
collector's circle of things.
