Subject: Mk-II availability

This is pretty much a question for Martin Smith.
Curious:
Have you had a fairly steady turnover of Mk-II's over the last
several years (like 1-2 a year or whatever)?
I was wondering if you envision your supply staying fairly steady or
if the limited number of them are bound
to be restored then held by collectors. Meaning that your
availability to source them will be drying up sometime
in the not too distant future.
And if that's the case, I was wondering if you envision the
possibility of building new dual-manual cycling Trons. They
wouldn't necessarily have to be exact clones of the Mk-II's, just
capture all the necessary bits about them. Obviously they would
be in extremely limited quantities and what like $25,000 or so.
I wonder how many of the dual-manual 400 style Tron's Markus is
selling for $10k?
