I was lucky with mine as well. Probably  one of only 2 trons in New Zealand, $500 US on our equivalent of Ebay, I was the only bidder. It wasn't working but with  the help of Frank and Martin it goes pretty well. To be honest it probably would be better to be rebuilt, and when I retire I might have a go. If I lived in the USA I would send it to Frank and if I was still in the UK I would send it to Martin. Anyway I am eternally grateful just to have the one I've got. Perhaps if I ever get to heaven there will be an M300 waiting for me.

Of course I'd like to pick up a used 'tron.

Now that we're all done laughing! :)

Those of you that have been successful, how'd you do it? I've been scouring thrift stores, consignment stores, music shops, talking to music shop owners, organists, and posting on facebook walls for these music shops.

I'm hoping, like a fool probably, that California is a big place and there may be one or two unaccounted for 'trons in the state, probably in bad condition. Hopefully in the possession of someone who doesn't value it much and will let it go for a bargain.

Of course, I may just be high as a kite or something.

Thanks
