Mellotronists

Hi Jon,

I have M300 no. 005 built in 1968, refurbished by Streetly in 1999 I think.
It has a mix of sounds from all models and I love it. Next best thing to a
MkII.

I also have M400 no. 992 in white. Ex Strawbs tron lovingly refurbished by
yours truly.

 

John B.

Anybody ever asked if everyone on the list who is fortunate enough to have a
Mellotron (or Chamberlin) would tell the list so that we can see how many
and what makes and models of instruments are accounted for by this group?
I'd think it would be an interesting survey, especially if everyone that has
one actually responds.  I'll start:

I own M400 #1145 (built late '73, apparently), and my mate Gary who isn't on
the list owns a late-ish M400, no.unknown, and a black Novatron which seems
to be a bit of a Heinz, with frame and cabinet sporting different nos.in the
1600-range. I think John Henry's hire co.(N.London) own three - John and
Martin will know. I don't know if the other owners I know are list lurkers
or not.
