Dear All,
If we have any Scientologists amongst us then this is just to let you know that we are currently finishing off restoration of L Ron Hubbard's MKII and it's a beauty. Mainly because he received it in 1965 and stopped playing it in 1967 when he left England to sail the seas on his research vessel. We suspect the footpedal has never been attacked by a shoe in it's life. Sadly the MKII hasn't done a lot for years and at some time in the past naughty fingers have messed with the internals and caused tapes to strangle themselves but it has got the three arsed bench! Once it's returned it will be available for viewing at Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead where it will sit in L Ron's preserved office complete with the letter he started on the day he vacated. A wonderful example of a preserved MKII approaching it's 40th birthday.
Best,
Martin
