Makes me wonder how old #1019 is? And if indeed ithas Wakeman roots
as Kean thinks it may but cannot verify/confirm. I don't think it
does, because it looks nearly mint with no dinged corners, scrubbed
feet, etc. A lot of M-400s have just passed their 30th birthday. I
did get mine exactly ten years ago. I have an Optigan that turned 30
too.
