The Mellotron Group

I've been lurking silently on this thread.  I had no idea this
instrument ever existed.  I've been looking around on the WEB for other
info.  
For anyone else like me who is new to this, start here and browse.

Yep, four of 'em. They are all intact and in generally good condition.
I'm missing about a dozen tubes total, so three are complete but none
are playable, too many dangers in firing them up without a lot of
internal work. One has some water damage to the wood exterior, but the
other three are in fine shape and one of them appears in the companion
DVD to the 40th anniversary release of "Pinocchio," so it was pretty
enough for Disney!

was made about Mellotrons! That's a different instrument at the Hollow
Sun site, too. Freshly restored in the UK. I have 2,000 pounds of
Novachords sitting in my storage room right now...
