Subject: Fw: [Mellotronists] Orchestron

From: "JS" <jonesalley@...>
Date: 2002-07-27

This particular, virtually cherry Orchestron sold on EBay about this time
last year for $1500.00 certified to be a studio beast only, and came with
all of the Orchestron disks made. So, they're obviously out there and not
all that costly despite their rarity. I was a millimeter from buying it
myself, but I wanted THE REAL THING, which I finally found in November last
year.
