My 35 yr old (fully restored by John and Martin) M400 isn't for sale despite having an M5000 ordered.
I'm sure they will both posesses their own character.

Just a thought, regarding the value of trons. The recent thread has got me thinking of what I what I would need to make me part with #1565.

Now #1565 is probably not the greatest example of an M400 but I would need a lot more than $8000 to part with it. I wouldn't swap it for a new M4000 or even an M5000, certainly not a Mark VI. Now that isn't probably very rational but I feel more attatched to my rusting, smelly, senile 35 yr old mellotron than I would to a shiny new one. Of course I may be mad.

A working M300 with Woolly's bloodstains still on the keyboard? Now you're talking!
