I  never did understand the myth that Mellotrons are unreliable. I have an 
attic  full of old 
and relatively new keyboards that have fried one way or  another and yet my 
mellotron 
always carries on. In 35 years there has  never been a time when I went to 
play it that it 
didn't work for me .  Maybe I would have to get out a screwdriver once in a 
while or service 
a  stuck tape but ,seriously..a  stuck tape but ,seriously..<WBR>.. After 35 
years of service t
and is now better than new. It should get a medal of  honor! I bet #390 is 
still around after 
all the nordwaves have baked  themselves. For the listener it's all about the 
sound, for the 
player it's  about what you are comfortable with, what inspires you, what 
gets you going. A  
soul thing. I need the real Mellotron for that and wouldn't trade a dozen  
wedge shaped 
devices for any one tron.
