The Mellotron Group

Very sad to hear this.  Frank was a friend and a great source of information for anything tron related.  He helped me out a couple of months ago when I needed to do some routine maintenance on my MKII.  He sent step by step instructions and pictures.  One of a handful of people I know that could help out with a MKII.  Now there's one less.

Many fond memories of the Pindertron unveil at Jerry's in 2004.  I caught all of the MKII jamming on audio, will have to listen to it again today.  Frank's slogging through "Peak Hour" was a highlight.

I didn't even know he was ill.  He will be missed.
