Actually, no. I spoke to the seller (who seems very nice) and he told me that
he is a song writer and that the Tron belonged to his friend and writing
partner, who passed away not long ago. His parter's wife gave him the Tron, and he
is now selling it. And he's not hard up for cash. The tron hasn't seen any
use in years, and the guy who owned it apparently kept everything he ever
bought, I guess, figuring it might come in handy someday. This is, for all practical
purposes, a one owner machine.

By the way. Mattias, how is the Chamberlin Rhythmate working? The Accordion?
I sent some photos of you and me at NEARfest to Thomas.
