Mellotronists

The EMI M400 build quality has been discussed many times.  It is fair  to say 
that 'as built' they were not well contructed for many  reasons.  They are 
usually out of jig and seem to have been constructed  from ignorance..  Any and 
multiples of the following normally applies: main  frame skewed, keyboard 
tight and difficult to remove/replace, pads offset to  either right or left, 
capstan not parallel, key depth suspect, under powered  motors, unshielded 
transformer etc.etc..  The good thing is that it can all  be put right but with a lot 
of effort.  Macca has the last two EMIs  built and they were honest to 
goodness crap.  A predigious customer but  that mattered not a jot to the ham fisted 
lads at EMI.
 
Best,
