If you are going to fix tuning issues, there must also be some 
temptation to fix bias pops and drop-outs.  These are NOT the things 
that give mellotron sounds "character"....They are just a pain in the 
ass.

I would not have any concern if you used digital editing to fix these 
WARTS.  Some people might think that A-D conversion, digital editing, 
then transfer back to analog would somehow destroy the analog-ness of 
the sounds.  (Desecration of the Holy Tapes!)

Use good converters and s/w.  No worries.
