I don't post that often.I'm in Austin and own M400 #480 (I guess that makes it a D model)?Tape frames - Mk II 3 violins, flute, cello; Mk II brass, 8 voice choir, chamber woodwindsI had the tron completely refurbished by Streetly in 2006. I highly recommend their work, and that is a completely unpaid plug on my part!Mike Castoro is a friend of a friend here, so I have met him once or twice and was privy to his collection.That will probably be the closest I will ever get to a working pristine MKII. Mike was kind enough to allow me to use his air freight account to ship my tron to England for the Streetly repairs. I can't imagine the hassle air freight must be without a business account.Anyone else here on the board in Austin or in the Texas area?-Brian--Gino Wong Birgelo BSComm, BSEEReRed RecordingReRed Treehouse Studios at Girard Hall527 W.
