My best guess is that this is likely Vincent Gallo's MkII #149 (formerlySteve Frothingham's).
If so, I have inspected this m/c while in the possession of both owners. It has not been
maintained at all; in fact, Steve found it in the late Mickey Newbury'sbarn in Washington
state. The cycling doesn't work (no big surprose there), theinterior is pretty filthy, the
keyboard action sucks, the exterior is pretty clean. Not sureabout the Abbey Road
connection...and 1961?
_________________________________________________________________Greetings All, Icontacted Steve Frothingham in late 1990's
during my MK-II quest.I guess owning a MK-II means just
that, not including clean-upand/or repairs. If memory serves,
Steve was quite evasivethen when I questioned about details.Another new eBayer testingthe waters, whilst attempting
to "raise the bar" pricewise."1961"..... two years B4 the MK-I
went into production."Abbey Road"....more buzz-words
added to entice a buyer. and "$20K" Hmmmm.....Thanks for the info/details,Frank .
Cheers, Jerry Korb (eBayersince 1997 , an "old-timer"),
and " old grey hoss"MK-I/124 , circa1963 and substantiated (Julia's 40th very soon)
M300/037, c.1968?
M400/681 , c. 1973
