The Mellotron Group

Tapes are not a problem as they are very replaceable, but if the instrument itself is actually rusty then the chances are that the parts won't be any use for anyone. Rust also tends to mean moisture which tends to mean a warped cabinet, etc. You're also asking a lot for it, considering the damage and the fact that you won't ship it. It was about eight or nine years ago, but I bought two damaged M400s from South Africa and they both cost less than half what you are asking for one.

Hi, I am new to this group. I own a M400 that is in rough shape. It
was stored for 10 years in a basement and has surface rust damage
throughout, plus the tapes are no good. It would probably be good for
parts and someone with the time and money could restore it. I thought
about posting it on ebay but wanted to try this group first. I live in
NW Missouri and would like $1500 for it. Must be picked up - I don't
want to ship it. Anyone interested?
