Speaking of Mellotrons mouldering away in a corner, I've often wondered what
the chances are of finding an "old masterpiece" by chance at a farm sale, in
a skip etc! What are the chances of anyone not "in the know" realising that
they are sitting on a valuable and historic instrument rather than a load of
old junk?

How many machines are out there that have simply dissapeared from
circulation that could be picked up for a song?
