Hello again.

I'm selling my Novatron T550, located in Ghent, Belgium.
It is in extremely good condition and comes with 4 tapeframes:

Set 1: 1982 demo frame
- Split choir (male/female)
- split: male choir/oboe
- Church Organ
Set 2: 1982 demo frame
- Flute
- Split choir (male/female)
- Cello
Set 3: new frame (2010)
- MKII violins
- MKII String Ensemble
- MKII Brass
Set 4: new frame (2010)
- 8choir
- Russian Choir
- MKII Flute

It was thought that only 3 of these were ever made, but, here's the 4th then :-)

I am selling it because of the purchase of another instrument which also features these sounds ;-) I don't want to just leave it standing here just because it's rare.

On this case I can be straight about the price: I payed 4250 for the machine, 200 for the transport and 1060 for the tapeframes.
I understand that this sums up high (5510 euro) but I think you get a lot for this: an rare instrument from 1982 in near mint condition (only thing is a small scratch on the flightcase), probably the best "real"tron for gigging, it's extremely well playable and stable and has a great signal-to-noise ratio.
Original swell pedal is included.
Plus, most of the "standard" mellotron sounds are included.
However, I'm not expecting much response for this price, so, if anyone's interested and wanting to make a lower bid, PM or mail me.

I prefer to sell it to someone who wants to play on it.

If no interesting offers occur before tomorrow evening, i will put it on ebay.

Have a nice meal.
