This MKII was commissioned for his 1997 Oxygene 7 - 14 world tour.  If you get hold of the Live In Moscow DVD you will see him perform Souvenirs de Chine(?) on the old beast.  This particular MKII was the one I bought from Ray Thomas in 1989 and which led me to John B and the Streetly revival.  I upgraded to a MKI and we converted my MKII for stage use.  For nerd value, it has a perspex lid and internal lighting, fixed drums and two unique Jarre sounds, the Jarrotron and Jarre Orchestra.

Thanks for the history, Martin. I amazes me how these machines get around. Any idea where it is now?
