The Mellotron Group

The bottom line is that I've turned this baby on three times in the last year, and I have the mechanical skills of grapefruit - I would rather sell this to someone who will restore it to it's rightful glory and use/appreciate it more than I am. ?As to the other issues: ?both frames are the standard violins/cellos/recorders, the output signal is clean, and if you can tell me where the motor controller card is and how to determine it's model, I'd be happy to pass that on. ?I'll send close-ups in the next day or so. ?Thanks very much for the advice... ?Skip

The fact that the two D keys don't play well is probably a minor adjustment and not a big issue.  It sounds like you have never installed the new (1986) tape frame.  That's a five minute job, so I would test it out.  Be ready to tell potential buyers what 3 voices you have on each tape frame.  Most buyers will also want to know if it produces a clean output signal and what motor controller card is in it.  Try to get close-up pictures of the inside, the tape frames and the cases.  Happy selling.
