I have posted this video on you tube. It is private so please don't embed or link to it. It will only be available for a while. I made it as a progress video for a John Hammaren, for whom I am restoring an M400. Since the video was shot, I am quite a bit farther along. I will post a few more private videos as I go.

Really nice Frank! Do you document all of your restorations? How many have you done over the years? Gary

I document nearly everything. When they pick up their machines my clients get a CD with hundreds of photos broken down into disassembly and reassembly of individual components. They also get a special instruction pack that gives them a specific maintenance routine as well as instructions on how to keep the keyboard in peak adjustment. Since about 2007 I have also made some short videos that I send them letting them see where I am in the process. This is the 35th machine I have worked on. In a message dated 12/8/2010 1:19:57 A.M.

Looks wonderful Frank, if I could afford it I would ship #1565 off to you tomorrow, as it is I think the M4000D rack will be for me if it ever sees the light of day at a reasonable price. Mark --- On Thu, 9/12/10, lsf5275@aol.com <lsf5275@aol.com> wrote:

If you get two of them you would have M4000DDs and that would be an impressive rack indeed. In a message dated 12/8/2010 8:01:20 P.M.

I. never thought I would say this BUT if you are going down the rackmount road, get the Memotron version. The sounds come from actual mellotrons, not clean as a whistle master tapes and the layerings, on the fly memory settings so you can store banks, make for one hell of a machine. We have no involvement but having listened I know what WE would choose from versatility and authenticity. M mellotronics.co.uk

Thanks Martin, I never thought you would say that either! I'll certainly look into it, #1565 is working fairly well and sounds pretty good but I know it needs a complete rebuild, the cabinet is badly out of shape and I suspect everything is magnetised or a fire risk. As a back up I have sampled it myself and even my amateur sampling sounds far better than M-tron I think. If I still lived in the UK I would bring it back to you or buy an M4000 but 12,000 miles is too far away from the nearest support. Cheers Mark --- On Thu, 9/12/10, tronbros <tronbros@aol.com> wrote:
