Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] I offer top dollar for original M-Tron.

You can look for the rest of your life and not find what you've just asked for, because it doesn't exist.  There were, at tops, 350 - 400 Trons made in the 1960s (of all models put together) and of all the ones still known to exist, not a one of them has not been "serviced" or "refurbished".  If you find one that hasn't been "serviced" or "refurbished" you will find a non-working Mellotron.  

If you are indeed seriously interested in purchasing such a machine, and not, as I suspect, some teen aged boy looking to stir up trouble, I would be very curious to know what you consider top dollar.

One last piece of advice.  Work on your manners.  An arrogant prick is no way to go through life.
 
best,
john

Hi y'all:
I am looking for an original Mellotron from the 60's and I am willing to pay top dollar for the right one. It will be a gift for a very special someone.
I have been doing some research. May be someone on this group may help me find it or is willing to sell. These are my conditions.
1) It has to be in top shape.
2) Not a barn garbage or not working unit or partially working keyboard.
3) In 100 % ORIGINAL condition. No a "Streetly serviced" or refurbished unit or any crap like that.
4) If possible, I would like to have also original sets of recordings with the keyboard.
5) I don't mind the model as the previous 4 conditions are there.
Please send me some pictures or video to my email and the price you are looking for. I will be in touch with you within a week.
Thank you. Have a great day.
Jamie
