Hello all:

Yes, Rick is correct in that Andrew owns Klaatu tron #1294. Mike,
you saw it at Tron-to MKII as it was serviced by the Tronbros.
Rumour has it that my own #1167 (Nightwinds tron) was used
on 'Calling occupants', or was perhaps a spare during the recording
of the 1st Klaatu album. The shipping sticker to Capitol Records,
Hollywood is still on my roadcase and I think that is where the album
was recorded.

Re: The Bigelf video...

Imagine, an EMI tron with no wobblies! (the one on the right; you
will notice the subtle difference in the cabinet). I remember from
one of Kean's old newsletters that the Bigelf MKII SFX, as noted by
Andy recently, is the Gracious! tron bought from the late, great
Martin Kitkat when he lived in LA. It was a specially commissioned
MKII 'Musicmaster'(or something like that-dual leads anyway).

Well Rick, I've read 'Shooting Straight...' (it is eerie when you
know the author!), now it is time for your latest...

Cheers everyone!
