The Mellotron Group

Sean,
In my case, just blind luck.
1975 was a good year and that was partially due to “landing” a Mellotron.

Tampa
PS fully restored by John and Martin, worth every penny, decades after the purchase.
Still own it too.

Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Tron hunting, for dummies, or at least, me

  
Of course I'd like to pick up a used 'tron.

Now that we're all done laughing! :)

Those of you that have been successful, how'd you do it? I've been scouring thrift stores, consignment stores, music shops, talking to music shop owners, organists, and posting on facebook walls for these music shops.

I'm hoping, like a fool probably, that California is a big place and there may be one or two unaccounted for 'trons in the state, probably in bad condition. Hopefully in the possession of someone who doesn't value it much and will let it go for a bargain.

Of course, I may just be high as a kite or something.

Thanks

-Sean
