A bit of an announcement.................

A bit of an announcement.................

2003-10-06 by tronbros@aol.com

Dear All,

Today at Streetly we started moving all stock into new premises freeing up 
space to allow  us to further expand the workshop into three distinct areas.  We 
now have a machine shop, renovation and build room and tape dubbing room.  
These steps have been necessary as demand has outstripped our current facility 
in it's present form.  

We are a self sufficient unit producing all things mellotronic.  We only buy 
what we cannot produce in house(plastics, motors etc.).  All metalwork is done 
here.  This gives us great flexibilty which we will need for the next phase - 
building new 'trons.  Brian, our resident toolmaker and machinist has new 
toys to play with and can now tackle any tron related engineering task.

As we prepare to go into production we are just about to take delivery of new 
motors especially designed for us to replace the plethora of tired and 
gutless ones cluttering our stores.  These are permanent magnetic motors with 
tremendous torque and low current demand.  We also have new seamless belts to 
compliment these.  The improved stability is just wonderful.

Finally we'd like to thank all of you who have used us over the last few 
years as you have allowed us to re invest(yes, all the money is in machinery etc. 
and sadly not in our pockets....yet) and carry the Streetly name forward.  We 
really do appreciate your  support.

Best,

Martin, John and Brian

Any serious idea on what you'll charge for a new M400? Will they be the 'standard' model? Are you allowed to say?

Utterly Brilliant!
Well done you guys. I for one wish you even more success in your new facilities. This has to be the most fantastic news for all of us who love "all things mellotronic". The dream is apparently still very much alive.
Excellent!

Martinge,

This is terrific news, but I trust that the new tape dubbing space JB 
has allotted you will not result in toilet flushing sounds being added 
to the tape sets...

Martin, John and Brian,

Congratulations!! This is great news, especially the fact that there 
is already a demand for new Trons even before the first one is built!

Any chance of posting pictures of the new facility on one of the 
Streetly websites?

Bernie
