The Mellotron Group

Just a thought, regarding the value of trons. The recent thread has got me thinking of what I what I would need to make me part with #1565.

Now #1565 is probably not the greatest example of an M400 but I would need a lot more than $8000 to part with it. I wouldn't swap it for a new M4000 or even an M5000, certainly not a Mark VI. Now that isn't probably very rational but I feel more attatched to my rusting, smelly, senile  35 yr old mellotron than I would to a shiny new one. Of course I may be mad.

A working M300 with Woolly's bloodstains still on the keyboard? Now you're talking!

Its simple, mine isn't for sale - full stop. Where else would I get a  
one-off vinyl covered Bradmatic  M400 that is the quietest, most stable  mellotron I 
have ever seen.
 
I don't think Woolly ever bled on this one...
