Re: Mellotron 386 The Black Mellotron gets a new owner.

I recently sold The Black Mellotron #386 to a new owner in San Francisco. I
decided to give it one final overhaul before I sent it off. I have uploaded a
photo-journal of the work done on it since I acquired it back in 2006 to the
main list page in the photos section.
This was a really good machine that had unspeakable horrors done to it by
Sound Sales. I have exorcised all of the demons that lay hidden in it and it is
a great machine. For those that can view them, here are a few photos of the
machine just prior to shipping. You can also see them many more on the Yahoo
page. I installed clear Lexan panels front and rear at the owner's request
although the originals have gone with it.

Out of the cabinet for
round 3
I
decided to paint the back...
... and then thought,
"what the heck" and repainted the whole
cabinet
Rewired the power
supply again to clean it up. It still had some bizarre wiring that I
had previously left alone because...
... Sound sales had
originally committed unspeakable acts upon
it.
But now it's all happy
again
And back in the
cabinet
So here it is, all
ready to go home. Notice the clear front
panel.
All closed
up
If you put clear
panels on it, It needs to be pretty
inside.
