#1080 M400

It was purchased from a guy in Minneapolis who used it in his studio
for recordings. His tape frames were mostly classical instruments such
as bassoon and oboe. The tron had been fully refurbed by Streetly and
came with a letter of authenticity stating that Mick Box of Uriah
Heep was the previous owner.

It now lives in Bermuda where local music is mostly reggae and hip
hop. Out of curiosity I introduced the tron to a reggae keyboard
player to see what impression it made and the next time I saw him he
said to me,
"how is your muhh ... uuhh ... muuhhh ... mummo tron?"

At least he got the tron part right and remembered that it was a keyboard.
