The Mellotron Group

Welcome to the group, Alex.

So you drove all the way to Burlington to pick up your new tron? Quite a hike from Montreal. I hope you didn't pay what Steve was asking-a bit steep. It seemed in decent shape; clean and tidy. New rollers, motor control card and a going over by nearby Jerry should have it purring nicely. Congrats!

Cheers,
