The Mellotron Group

I'm giving it up.  I bought the Mellotron new from a music store around 25+ years ago or so, planning to use it for recording.  Never had time/place/cash to set up the studio.  So I finally decided to sell it to someone who knows what it is and will give it a good home.   

It is SN 1354. It has been in a home, a church recording studio and another home where it is now, always climate controlled, no pets, no kids.  Around 14 years ago I kept it in the church where I was the orchestra director, but never used it.  While there, I removed the tape rail and de-magnetized the heads, reinstalled the tape rail and played it a bit, mostly for the curious who had never heard of it.  Played fine but I never recorded with it.  Finally moved it to a friend's home where it sits with bubble-wrap on the keyboard for dust protection.  

I'm enclosing a few photos. Everything is original.  So you can take it from there.  I hate to give it up, if nothing else, for the history of the instrument.  So here it is.   

Asking $500,000

Will sell it for $3,000

Please text or call for more photos or questions.

I hate it when Mellotrons have kids and pets. They just don't make good parents or pet owners.
