The Mellotron Group

Mark,
 
If you bring me yours, I'm happy to fix it up for you. I've done plenty of  
them for private owners. My preference for the ones I buy, restore and 
resell is  to put them where they will be played live and/or recorded. You are a 
person who  openly shares your Mellotron and your love for it. Had I known 
what you would do  with a Mellotron I would have gladly sold you one. I 
rebuilt the "Mel" Mellotron  twice. The 2nd time was a very extensive rebuild. 
Streetly restored it as well,  before I ever touched it. All of the work done 
was for the same owner. After I  repaired it in 2005 it was stuck in a 
garage for 5 years and then it came back  for a frame up restoration. Now, I'm 
pretty sure its back in a garage or a  storage bin. Sad! It's a great 
Mellotron and can be seen and heard on my You  Tube "Astra" video.

Thank goodness I didn't have to try and buy one from you, Frank!!   


The guy I bought mine off said he was glad to see it going to someone who  
really wanted one,  and trust me, I really did.  


I think  wanting to own one is a good enough reason to have one, it  would 
be sad if  musicians and studio owners were the only people to get  their 
hands on mellotrons.
