Mellotronists

We are sad to report that Peter Leversley, the man behind the electronics  
for all mellotrons, from MKIIs to M400s has died of a heart attack at the age of 
 70.  He was standing in a queue waiting for and english cup of tea having  
been dancing with his dear wife Dorothy when he collapsed.  He never  regained 
consciousness.
 
Peter was a gem of a bloke and often helped us when we got stuck.  He  made 
SMS2 boards for us until very recently and designed an alternative motor  
control for Mr Fripp's MKII when we needed extra stability.  He was a  genius and 
we will miss him.

Sad news for us all, Martin. Perhaps in the future, you could tell us more  
about him.
 
Send my condolences,
