The Mellotron Group

Thanks Bruce.
Legacy is a good word to use here. With so few machines built in the first place, and now even fewer surviving, big respect for those among us who are dedicated to keeping these machines going! For every machine that gets a rebirth is a day for celebration.
In 50 years time, people will see the pics and proclaim with one voice...... What the Hell is that? (Even more than they do now!)

Hey Andy-
   A lovely machine and rebuild.  Kudos to Martin and company.  I saw the later photos, looks like you have a brass capstan.  Wonderful!
 
  I wonder how many of these 'trons will be around in 40 more years.  What a legacy!

No new tapes as the ones already on board were fairly recent anyway.
By the way, it was no ordinary EMI, as the guys had rebuilt, realigned, and generally made it something pretty special a few years back. Apparently there was still quite a bit of work to be done to make the EMI bits fit inside the standard cabinet, so it was not an easy job.
Mention also for the fantastically light action that Martin has created. It has never played this well before.
 
Cheers.

Looking good! Thanks for posting in the Members area. The earlier picture didn't show up in your message. Did you get any new tapes with it?
