All that Thunderbirds talk got me thinking about the kinship between
Mellotrons/Chamberlins and Gerry Anderson's electromechanical
brainchild, SuperMarionation! The coupling of the soundtrack with
solenoids in the puppets heads to move the lips, sheer genius - akin to
the tape action of the Melly's and Chamby's (including the
solenoid-fired remote M-1R Chemaberlins)! I'd love to see the inside of
one of those!
