No it's the refurbished Novatron 400 with those shaped rollers by
Streetly. It's very stable, nearly as good as Norm's BJH-tron. The Tron
on Frankie and Tronny is a bit of a cheat. It's a minidisc recording of
Martinge's Mk1, and there's a smidge of Antares Auto-Tune on the 400's
mk2 Brass, not that it helps much because the instruments within the
recording appear not to be playing true octaves!

Thanks for your good wishes!!
