| Notes | First Mellotron that did not include a speaker in the cabinet. Unfortunately, its new quarter-inch two-track tape format proved to be unreliable. The new tape format used guides that, over a period of use, built up a static charge. Eventually the tapes would become charged, and they then wrapped themselves around the large drums that formed part of the voice-selection mechanism.
