For me, none!
Never wanted or owned one.
Haven't mentioned the "hicup" everytime the disc completed one revoloution and started another, but about like needed to lift before the 8 seconds of tape is about to end with Mellotrons.
Great idea except it didn't work.

I played his triple, he wasn't fond of it, to put it mildly and neither was I.

What is the point of playing a triple keyboard version of an instrument that sounds fundamentally awful?
