Very nice and you've got the red on/off switch.

Hey everyone,

I've almost had completed a very involved restore on a Mellotron 400S which consisted of rebuilding the cabinet (if anyone needs the dimensions give us a yell). The original one was destroyed somehow, and it came to me mounted in a hospital trolley!

Below is a photo for those of you interested. Keep in mind it's not fully assembled yet.

The front panel is perspex, and the inside will be lit up by a strip of LED's. 

The main part I need is the sound selector arm which goes from the selector knob and moves the heads.

I'm also out a belt, but I've been conversing with Markus about that & an SMS 5 and he has me sorted for one of those.
Looking forward to your comments, criticisms and any suggestions you might have!
