Greetings Guybrush and Gang, MK-II'sdo show-up on eBay sometimes,
like that elusive 6-point(station) buck inthe fall. You gotta "cut the
mustard" first by thinking as naturalist "Fowler" , or contact
Jimmy M. at the "Mills" to spread the wordto aid in your quest.
Then can you enjoy your aged hunter's cheeseat Tron-Camp.Seriously, most MK-II's are currently in privatehands, most
folks now are aware of their current value. The misc. orig. rhythms/fills
are nice touches , but most refurbedMK-II's or SFX or M300's
opt for 24 or 36 lead instrument sounds.This "schmuck" happened upon an M300 purelyby accident in 1997,
and was offered a MK-II (later discoveredto be MK-I ) in 1998.

Best advice I can render is a classic phrase"....All good things
come to those who wait." Might soundgoofy/dorky,
but still appropriate . Jimmy M. foundhis Moo-A-Tron by
happenstance. Ditto for my M300, lots morestories out-there.
......Common thing is that all they WEREN'Tfound via eBay.Good Luck , GuyBrush searching, or simply "watch-andwait"
to see what debuts soon across the pond.Cheers, -- V.T. Cabot
