Re: Black Mellotron Auction follow up... the Blue Mellotron

2009-07-04 by lsf5275@aol.com

Oddly enough, I ended up selling the Blue Mellotron (Unicorns and all) to  
one of the other bidders on the black one for substantially more than the 
high  bid on the black one. Of course it includes the rebuild, but the outside 
of the  cabinet will be left "as is" except for giving it a fine new set of 
cheek  blocks. It will be nice when done, yet funky. Tasteful... yet not. 
Fresh... yet  old. solid... yet with a giant hole in the side. Still blue... 
yet not white. 
 
And with the proper tone knob.
 
I have recently learned that this machine was in a recording studio in  
England for years. A visitor to my myspace page told me that his dad had  
recorded with it back in the 70s and it was painted as it is now. Small  world.
