It’s not “chipboard”!Harry and Richard had the cabinet parts made by a furniture company. It is a formica-ish laminate on fine cabinetry plywood. In fact,the pieces were marked to indicate those that were fit-checked together: If you’veever seen or heard of a Chamberlin called an “M-1-E”or something like that, the “E” is the marking to indicate the setof pieces that fit together among the batches sent over, as there would havebeen an A set, a B set, a C set, and a D set in that batch.
As to the amount they’re worth:
10’ patch cord - $5.99
Ultimate Support table - $80.00
M2 of my very own – priceless

The last Chamberlin M-1 like the one pictured I sawwas offered a
couple years ago at a set sale price of $5,000from a music store in
Minnesota (?) or somewhere in the upperMidwest/Great Lakes region. It
seems it was offered for sale right here onMellotronists. Did anyone
we know get this one? Apparently, that one was inperfect running order.
Cosmetically correct, I bet they are impossible tofind...a keyboard
skinned with wood grain over chipboard likeWal∗Mart entertainment
center furniture just doesn't look exactly mintafter 40+ years.
I wish one of these would drop in my lap at anaffordable price (don't
we all)...after a MkII and before a Hammond XK-1.I woulda said B-3
but don't have the space nor the ooomph to move itwhen hoovering the
carpet.
