Hi all-
I agree, the pictures look familiar. I remember the accessory cord picture with the list next to it. Caution is probably advised.
On a similar subject, the NOS Mellotron on Ebay sold for $9500.00. Hmmm.

If the NOS went for $9,500.00, I'd have gladly put in an order for an
M4000 instead. An M4000 trumps a perfectly working M400 any day.

Yeah, for that price the buyer could have gotten a fine piece of
hardware with 24 sounds and would have had enough cash left over to
put a nice synth or a Hammond XK-1 on top.

I'm not sure we have an equal understanding of the exchange rate and shipping costs. Still, the M4000 is the way to go. By the way, I will soon be selling two very nice Mellotron 400s on eBay. They are far superior the one that was just sold, but will go for a much better price. Both are fully updated with and electro-mechanically fully updated. Both have SMS-5s and two speed switches (though not mounted through the control panel face plates. The white one was has a pretty good history (played by Chicago and a few other well know 70s bands.) The other one was wretchedly tortured (updated) by Sound Sales and then painted by a blind troll with a can of black paint and a broom ( and probably a brain full of LSD). Of course I have made it even better by fixing everything inside but leaving the outside intact. I may actually paint it outside, the inside is done... But it is so weird that I have grown to love it.
So look forward to lots of Mellotronia on ebay.
Frank

Hmm, you get drunk, wander down and lift up a white lid. Who hasn't done that. I remember being at a friends house back in the 70s and I was so pissed that I went down in his living room, lifted up a cushion and urinated all over his sofa. I was ok with it but I ended up with a huge cleaning bill.
I'm better now. I just go in my pants.

My mellotron smells of mouse piss, except when the new tapes go in when it smells of shoe polish.
