I think they were using an M 400 in the studio by the time of Selling England....  I do wonder how they accounted for the difference in sound between the Mk2 strings and the bass accordion for Watcher which was a big part of their show for a long time. Did they have special tapes or did they just roll with what was around.

Surely somebody knows.

   I was wrong about the Mk2.  It is an M400, visible at about 29 minutes in, its back to the audience.  Further, there are choirs in the mix!  I guess directors don't like cameras on the keyboardists.

Thanks, Mark-
   It looks like a very good transfer, both sound and picture.  Nice and clear.  The tron appears to be the white-finished Mk2, but I may be wrong.  Looks like it is sticking out of a white box in "Watcher".
