It could actually not only affectthe memotron but the whole used market as well.

This re-states an interesting question. What state is the 'used' marketin? As far as I can tell, everyone who wanted a real Mellotron has oneuntil the last one sold out. The market is probably nowhere near asfluid as it was before, where they were changing hands a lot more.People advertising them on e-Bay usually give the reasons 'need moreroom' or 'need the money' rather than 'the thing isfucked and I hate the sound'.

 
Buying a Chamberlin M1 for 7000dollars wont really make as much sense anymore...

Did it ever? :-)
