Mellotronists

Dear All,
 
A quick update on the delay we have experienced getting these machines out  
for any doubting thomases that might be lurking on the list.
 
Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control we are awaiting one piece of  
circuitry that is clever and vital.  A series of unforseen unforseens have  held 
us up in this regard and although we generate most things in the  workshop, 
electronic brains are not amongst our skills.  All other parts  sit patiently 
awaiting assembly and the cabinet builders are ready to  build.  We've had the 
keyboards here for 3 months!
 
Shit happens and we have to cope so apologies to those awaiting their  M4000s 
and those craving a glimpse of what we have to offer.  It's  frustrating but 
we have to sit this one out.  
 
Best,
 
Martin

I am looking forward to playing with your instrument Martin. 

"one piece of circuitry that is clever and vital" ?
Is it a big backlit LCD display like my Optimus MD-1200?
Built in stereophonic speakers?
...or MIDI I/O jacks?

Nah, I'm guessing it's something that lets them read each of the six tracks 
on the tapes individually, like a Chamberlin, instead of blending the sounds 
as recently discussed for classic Mellotrons.
