Could have invested in some decent switchgear though. That On/Off switch looks very homemade.

Markus has it set up on top of his Mellotron Mark V, and you cannot tell the difference in sound.


 
My 2 pence worth:  Putting aside all the theorizing, at NAMM, David and I did direct A-B comparisons between the digitial Mellotron and a MkVI.  I would defy anyone to tell the difference in sound (no one could), even in the feel of the keyboard (the difference there is very slight).  At $1800. and 41 pounds with 100 sounds and (BTW) parameter control, it's one hell of a machine.
