M400 #500 UNVEILING

Bernie Kornowicz awaits the unveiling of Mellotron M400 #500

What type of society would we be without tradition?  Jerry prepped the cameras and his speech.  It's a good thing Bernie has years of physical and mental training, as he seemed cool and collected waiting to see the results of months of work by Professor Korb.

Jerry makes a speech
Dave and Bernie wait patiently for Jerry to take care of tradition.
I thought I heard "Four score and seven years ago..." somewhere in there.

Finally...

Get ready...

...almost...
(Nope, that's not a flaw in the finish on the side of #500 -- it's
reflecting the bubble wrap sitting on Jerry's M400.)

...ta-daaaaa!  Mellotron M400 #500 restored!

Very nice.  Turn around for us, will you?

Mellotron M400 #500 - butt shot

Yes, this used to be a dinged-up M400 with chipped white paint and little black feets.  It still has the little black feets, but...Nice.  Fortunately this M400 was not one made of the chip board and could be stripped and stained.  Getting the 30+ year old white paint off of the machine wasn't easy, but I'd like to think it was worth it.
