The Vako Orchestron is an old-school style optical competitor to the Mellotron.
The Orchestron, which was adapted from the Mattel Optigan, was introduced in 1975 by Dave Van Koevering. It was intended to be a competitor to the Mellotron, but it never really took off.
More information about the Orchestron and related instruments is available at the Optigan site.
