Hi to all in Mellotron land!
I visited this Tron today at the sellers' domicile. It is currently in
unplayable condition wih many notes not sounding. The remaining tapes
have serious wow and flutter issues. I would expect that this
instrument will need a complete refurbishing from Professor Korb or his
ilk. The tapes currently residing in the machine are MKII Brass (A),
String Section (B) and 8 Voice Choir (C). The seller has a second tape
set ( I noticed at least one scotch tape repair to a tape) but he was
not willing to install it to audition the sounds. He says he has owned
this Tron for many years but doesn't know what sounds are on the second
frame?? The exterior has numerous nicks and dings etc... but re-
finishable by a professional.

Regards,
