Hi Frank,
 
Yes, I did have one.  Oddly enough, we used it to make a set of tapes recording Orchestron sounds via an Optigan.

Don't forget the infamous 1/4" conversion kit that did enable tron owners to make their own tapes.  Chick Corea did this with Gail Moran's voice.  Is there anyone on this list that actually has one of these kits, and/or actually used one?
When I acquired #430, it came with the 1/4" conversion kit. It also had custom made SFX tapes in it. I removed them and removed the 1/4" kit. The kit resides in my "strange but true" box. The tapes reside in the Fairfax County Dump. # 430 is now owned by Kevin Mease (Mellotron guy).
