Sean,
They are out here….in California. I have seen many (over the years) and unless they have been junked or sold out of state you will find one deteriorating in the back room of a studio somewhere. SIR probably has some in deep storage. I have seen eBay listings
in California for them. The problem is that if you aren’t equipped with the knowledge or funds to restore it you will just have a
pile of junk. If you can go to the NAMM Show in January there will probably be one of the new ones on display to play.
Frank can take a pile of junk and make it like (better than) new but it’s a lot of work and expensive……as quality and craftsmanship
tend to be. Good luck in your search……..J

Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Tron hunting, for dummies, or at least, 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
-Sean
