"Although Frusciante recently acquired a genuine Mellotron, sampling, modern synthesis, and programming are clearly not where his heart lies. "

It's below the "The Cat" synthesizer in this picture of his studio, has something covering the first part of the word "Prophet".

Item can be seen on the upper right portion of this picture. This is a later model of the OB-8, one which has MIDI ports on the left side of the unit, evidenced by the red DIN cable connected to the left.

"His collection includes a Doepfer A100 modular synthesizer, a Mellotron, a Minimoog, and a 1970 ARP 2500. “For a long time I was using mainly the Doepfer. I was more interested in using the LFO and gates and treating other instruments with it. I wasn't interested in using a synthesizer's oscillators. But the ARP 2500 has renewed my interest in oscillators completely, because they sound incredible. It's the same thing with guitars and recording equipment — the old stuff sounds better, louder, warmer, and more soothing."
