Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Mellotron restoration-Parts needed


Do you have any shots of it in the hospital trolley? Must be a sight to be 
seen!  :-)  Seriously, it's looking great so far. Speak to Martin at 
Streetly about the track selector knob - they were 'off the shelf' parts 
(used vol.controls by some amp manufacturers) and aren't that hard to find, 
at least in the UK.

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!
