Re: [newmellotrongroup] Mellotron M- 400S - Completely restored - Now on e-ba...

2012-05-02 by lsf5275@aol.com

Locking casters on bottom of feet. Preexistent hole cut into the  side by 
someone who cared little, if any, for the cabinet, years of  abuse and 
modification by people with little or no understanding of  mechanics, electronics 
or the properties of wood (or aesthetics). Brought back  to life and 
returned to service by two people who cared (me and Scott). Lovingly  restored 
after 120 plus hours of fucking around trying to get it right and with  a final 
appearance that came to me in a dream (really)
