Hello:

RE: Burlington, Ontario tron

Same owner since 1983

Rack 1) Usual flute/3 violins/cello
Rack 2) 8 Choir/string Section/'unknown stringy sound'

CMC-10 but does not 'sag' when lots of notes played.
Drive belt is in place-machine plays well with no wobblies.

Hunk of plywood is 'glued in well' and was in place when purchased in 1983.

Seems like a reasonable tron although the price is not.

C'mon Jim-get in there and dicker!
