actually, it's seven:

mine = 1
studio = 2
maryland = 3
gino = 4
brad = 5
jimmy = 6 and 7

jimmy moore owns the "formicatron" and a recently restored by professor
jerry korb fx console, that i am hoping to see in person soon.
[btw: brad's is a novatron restored and purchased from streetly a couple
years back]

plus there were others at the philly tron gathering, a couple of which
are also in the area, but belong to people that have dropped off the
list, were never on it, or just moved away, never to be heard fromagain.

i'll shut up now.
coffee is a wonderful thing.

Greetings Gang,   I know for  a fact there are a goodamount of
Trons out-there, on our List,esp. But they will reveal themselves
if they so choose.

There's also a concentration of Trons in the Boston region .
Ranging from MK-II to MK-V  .

I think I provided my Tron info before, but will add it again forreference:

MK-I  #124  "Julia"   Acquired in 1998, restorationcompleted in 2003
M300 #037                 Acquired in 1997, restoration completed in 1998
M400 #681                 Acquired new in 1973, updated/refurb in 1997
JKMK6 #001             Designed and built 1998-2001, debut in Glen Mills 2001

The oldest M400  I'm aware of  is #104 in Bucks Cty, PA.
Brass capstan, front headphone jack,CMC4 controller, etc. Its owner
is not on the list and prefers to remain anonymous.
