Mellotronists

Hi guys!

First of all, thanks for your warm welcome greetings!

Well, in the many replies I�ve got mostly I�m adviced to buy a new 
motor first of all. But I still have my doubts, since after a while the 
CMC10 behaves quite nicely. Does anyone know how much (in kilos if 
possible) does a new SMS weight? since my dad is flying over to the USA 
in July and he could bring me one.

But still, I don�t have enough money to buy the motor AND a new tape 
set. So I�m still deciding...

On the tape frames quality issue, is it the same then if I buy from 
Streetly or from MA, is there any debate, comparisons/opinions about it?

Plus, I just finished taking some pics of my melly. Where would you 
advice me to post it for you to see them easily
