They’re like Ferraris. I see a lot of low milage cars from the 80’s, 90’s to current models.
When the sit the gaskets dry out and you’re looking at tens of thousands of dollars in replacing them to make them drivable.
I buy them to drive, and I do that daily.

“Garage queens” are of no interest to me.
If you want to make some pretty serious money one on, put 2k miles on it and then sell it.

I'm sorry, but it just isn't right that a rare Mellotron like the MkII should end up in a museum. It belongs in the home of someone who will use it and appreciate it.
