The Mellotron Group

 

Hi all,

 

I'm selling my Novatron Model 400 SM/Serial # 1835. This machine is exactly the same as any other Mellotron except for the name. This machine was originally built by John Bradley (son of founder Les Bradley) at Streetly Electronics in the late '70's for the South African BBC. It was completely rebuilt and upgraded John just before I purchased it in March of 2004. The tape set included (Solo Cello, MKII Violins and 8 Voice Choir) was made new for me as well. This Novatron (Mellotron) has also been kept in a humidity controlled, stable, smoke-free environment and has never traveled since it arrived at my home.

 

Because I liked the look of the original Mellotron control panel faceplate (as opposed to the Novatron faceplate), I asked Martin Smith at Streetly to swap them out, one for the other when the machine was in for service.

 

This machine is in excellent working condition and will provide years of reliable service. Mellotron/Novatron parts are still readily available today through Streetly Electronics, should they ever be needed. Here is your chance to own a unique musical instrument that has been lovingly maintained.

 

For pick-up only located in Central Massachusetts. It is in perfect working condition. Asking price is $5,000.00. I've put 1 photo up on the groups web site.
If you require additional pictures or information please e-mail me

Thanks,

Pete
