.....And it's gone in the blink of an eye. It sold fast. BUT there is a Chamby there now! It appears to have an updated pair of switching power supplies, among other fixes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Early-1970s-Chamberlin-M1-tape-replay-keyboard-Mellotron-/200960964530?pt=Keyboards_MIDI&hash=item2eca34f7b2 -Bruce D. ________________________________ From: "lsf5275@aol.com" <lsf5275@aol.com> To: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 9, 2013 8:26 AM Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] M400 on eBay Looks a bit shabby.

I have one up through Chris DiPinto
M400 $5k and it is excellent
foto link:
Description:
all original matching serial numbered parts.
new tape set on a new tape rack in 2001 - very few hours since.
has small feet extensions [see pictures] to bring it to a more
comfortable height - can easily be removed.
top has thick clear plexiglass cover installed by original owner to
keep it clean.
under this cover is the documentation for the new tape rack and
headblock roller along with
a copy of the original checkout/final test [1974] provided by Martin
at Streetly from his archives.
it has an updated [SMS2] motor control card [see pictures] that is far
superior to the original card.
it's running on a stepup transformer to provide 230 volts.
this can be bypassed [i'm pretty sure] by getting a new cable from
Streetly, but it works fine as is and always has.
it has always been kept in climate controlled studios - i am third owner.
the original owner was
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Barrett_%28musician%29
he gave it to Metropolitan Studio in 2000
i got it from Metropolitan around 2006
otherwise it has only been moved to one gig in west philly in 2011
it's incredibly clean for a 40 year old instrument and is in very good
working order.
