Hi Clay and Everyone,

I guess all things mechanical break down, even as Clay said, the
digital samplers break down as well....so do computers,I should know,
I work on them for a living....at least I try to.
Yeah.....I've always heard that the Tron breaks down a lot.
Sadly, I've never been close enough to a real Mellotron to find out,
although I sure hope I get to actually play one some day.

Thanks for the wealth of Tron knowledge, and the cool clips.

Regards,
Fretless
