DearAll,If we have any Scientologistsamongst us then this is just to let you know that we are currently finishingoff restoration of L Ron Hubbard's MKII and it's a beauty. Mainlybecause he received it in 1965 and stopped playing it in 1967 when he leftEngland to sail the seas on his research vessel. We suspect the footpedalhas never been attacked by a shoe in it's life. Sadly the MKII hasn'tdone a lot for years and at some time in the past naughty fingers havemessed with the internals and caused tapes to strangle themselves but ithas got the three arsed bench! Once it's returned it will be availablefor viewing at Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead where it will sit in LRon's preserved office complete with the letter he started on the day hevacated. A wonderful example of a preserved MKII approaching it's40th birthday.
Best, Martin
