Mellotronists

This is what he or she wrote about it...

" I don't know alot about this organ but, when you plug it in it plays music 
and appears to be in good working condition. "

and then...

" I just realized that this organ has a disc player in it. The disc spins 
and the lights come on but there is no sound from the disc, it is very dusty 
in there "

I find it all a bit charming...

My Mellotron sounds great and music comes from it. I just realized that 
there are tapes in it...
