Here's a great (if slightly over-exuberant for my tastes) weekend project video from Make magazine, which shows you how to turn a bunch of $2 walkmen into a Mellotron (roughly). It was obviously inspired by Mike Walters, and his 14 walkman, 25 note Melloman. (Thanks, James)

Could someone explain why they had to open up the 'walkmans' and solder wires to get the sound out? I've always use the 1/8th inch jack for that. But it sure looks complicated! Hipsters are SO SMART!
they didnt have to open the walkmans, and i believe in the video or the pdf they say you can use a 1/4 in jack. it was probably just because its cheaper if you dont have extra jacks laying around.
