No doubt, they were absolutely glorious on that stage!

Thanks Frank for the info. I can imagine that such a machine will go
for a hefty price. I would be quite happy to find a deal I couldn't
resist, but sadly, my means are modest and a top-notch 'tron is way
way out of my league. One of my goals would be to find a "boiler room
junker" mellotron and refurbish it from the ground up. But I guess
there aren't many "boiler room junker" mellotron left in the world
right now! :-(

Have a great weekend!

Robert
