Foxtrot was recorded in 1971 or 72 wasn't it? Whatever the case,
that was well after the MK II motor control mod.

I saw Pinder play the MKII in 1969. Of course I was just a tiny baby
at the time, but my appreciation for music developed early. They
were running on North American 60HZ converted power.... And it
was "magnificent". Have You Heard?
YES.
