Re: [newmellotrongroup] Mellotron serial # dating.

2013-01-14 by Chris Dale

I need to find out #259.

If we all entered our serial numbers on this list at one time, we could get a better idea of what still exists and from what eras - (Streetly / Mellotronics / Sound Sales etc.) and also Martin wouldn't have to run back and forth to look these up.

What doth though thinketh?

So then my guess would be close. I know that 1541 was purchased in late 1973 or very early in 1974.

Just checked back in the archives of the list, as I remember Martin very kindly looked up #1565's birthday a few years ago and it was 15th August 1974,

That was a joke, Tony. We've seen these build dates and purchase dates fluctuate all over the map, and unless Martin and John can find the list, I don't think we'll ever know for sure. I agree, just out of curiosity, it would be nice to know.

Same here interested, mine’s #510 and been under the impression it was a 1972 build.
Don’t think so now after seeing 1407 with a much earlier date estimate.
