Mellotronists

that are screwed into the cheek blocks, and make that snapping noise 
when you pull the block out.  Sometimes apparently they actually DO 
snap off, as they always sound like they're about too.

Probably none sitting around on this side of the pond, but thought I'd 
ask just in case.  I assume Streetly has them?

Can anyone out there make any suggestions of either an alternative parts
source or a better way to get in touch with either David Kean or Streetly?

 

I've been trying to get someone to get back to me about some necessary parts
for my M400 and I'm not having any luck.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

What a fascinating concept...

Oh, wait.  You mean the cheek blocks of the Mellotron.

Never mind.

Are they the white plastic ball-and-socket type, or the brass
tongue-and-slot type? Streetly has the brass type, and whenever I see
the white plastic ones, I swap them out for the brass.

I don't usually have any problem getting hold of Martin at Streetleys by email or telephone.
