I. never thought I would say this BUT if you are going down the rackmount road, get the Memotron version.  The sounds come from actual mellotrons, not clean as a whistle master tapes and the layerings, on the fly memory settings so you can store banks,  make for one hell of a machine.  We have no involvement but having listened I know what WE would choose from versatility and authenticity.

They also get a special instruction pack that gives them a specific maintenance routine as well as instructions on how to keep the keyboard in peak adjustment. Since about 2007 I have also made some short videos that I            send them letting them see where I am in the process.

I made it as a progress video for a John Hammaren, for whom I am restoring an M400. Since the video was shot, I am quite a bit farther along. I will post a few more private videos as I go.
