Allen Duffy owns a MK V. It is a Novatron. (He says that it was
Oscar Peterson's). Jon Salley has the Pat Moraz Novatron MK V. Mark
Glinsky had Pinder's Novatron MK V and sold it to a collector in Italy.

There were about 31 MK V's built. 28(?) were Mellotrons and 3 of them
were Novatrons. Looks like all 3 Novatron MK V's are accounted for.
