Mellotron toolkit

Mellotron toolkit

2002-07-27 by tron400

Hi all,

I want to put a toolkit together for my M400's. One Tron was made in
England and the other was made in the US. Do any of you have a list
of recommended tools?

A medium size, non-magnetic Philips screwdriver for pad and roller
adjustment screws. Any kind of head demagnetiser, some head cleaner,
cotton swabs, large bottle of extra strength pain killers, a nut
socket for key adjustment nuts... and if none of this works, a large
can of Ronson lighter fluid and some matches.
