The Mellotron Group

Hi Charles,
 
Good point.  I saw the display on the M4000D and wondered how robust the
unit will be.  I have a Roland Juno G where the LCD display has gone out
twice, after warranty of course.  About $200 to have repaired each time.

	I got to wondering about any potential "tech issues" which might
develop down the road with the digital unit. Since these are small run,
hand made instruments and the only support is in Sweden, what happens in
case of malfunctions...or what exactly COULD go wrong with these and how
easily are they fixed by local repair places? What's the breakdown rate
on Memotrons? (has anyone heard?) It's not like tape replay where you
can change a single broken tape or blown capacitor. I magine the whole
thing is on a motherboard but what issues could potentially develop? How
long will the ROM last? etc. etc. If I got one it's not like I would
want to ship it back and forth from Ohio to Sweden for repairs. I assume
all parts are easily replaced locally (except the sounds).
