I had to add the following. These gentlemen aren't on the list,
but their decades of Tron ownership should be recognized.

Larry "Synergy" Fast : purch.May 1973 M400/725

Mike Lutgen, of "Leviathan" purch. M400 March 1972 .
Later sold it approx. 1995 .

It was Mike Lutgen who provided my "first-contact" with
a Mellotron in August-1972 during a local concert in my
former borough of Wood-Ridge,NJ .

Any more Tron "lifers" still silently lurking out-there?? ......JK
