Mellotronists

Hello,

just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post about
a month ago, requesting information about inspecting a
mellotron for purchase.

In the end, I did not make the trek to see the instrument. 
The door to my jeep fell off, so I asked a keyboard player
friend if he'd be interested in checking out the instrument.

The whole thing turned sour, and I had a flight early the
next morning.  I have, however, kept all of your responses
and will be compiling them all to write an authoritive book
on inspecting and trouble-shooting the mellotron...
