Re: [newmellotrongroup] Mellotron restoration-Parts needed

Have you talked to Martin at Streetly? If he doesn't have one, it should be fairly easy to fabricate out of some aluminum stock.

Hey everyone,

I've almost had completed a very involved restore on a Mellotron 400S which consisted of rebuilding the cabinet (if anyone needs the dimensions give us a yell). The original one was destroyed somehow, and it came to me mounted in a hospital trolley!

Below is a photo for those of you interested. Keep in mind it's not fully assembled yet.

The front panel is perspex, and the inside will be lit up by a strip of LED's.

The main part I need is the sound selector arm which goes from the selector knob and moves the heads.

I'm also out a belt, but I've been conversing with Markus about that & an SMS 5 and he has me sorted for one of those.
Looking forward to your comments, criticisms and any suggestions you might have!
