I was under the impression that the 'real' Strawberry Fields machine was
rented for the session, and that no one actually knows where it now is.
The Strawberry Fields m/c was a hire, whose whereabouts is unknown. The unit auctioned off at Abbey Road's Sale of the century was the SFX console (in drab BBC regulation grey) used on the White Album. It went to Mike Oldfield for 1000 pounds, eventually making its way back to Streetly, and is now in the hands of Sir Paul.
