30+ years?  Wow!  Yep, that's about how long it takes those guys to get 
anything ready.

Congrats on your machine!  You'll get addicted.  BUT buying a Streetly box 
means missing out on fighting with the adjustment, not having to clean out 
crap left behind by animals (including human animals), and not enjoying 
that lovely 'tron "been packed away in a basement" smell.

Hmmm...Ya know, what's the point of owning one if all you need to do with 
it is play it?  ;-)

Hi, Pete.

Welcome to our merry band of troniacs.  There is nothing like the feeling of 
owning your first tron.

Pete,

This is great news! Everyone who wants one should be able to own a 
Mellotron. You couldn't have made a better choice than to get a 
refurb from Streetly. It's as good as a new one. Have fun!
