A database is a great idea.  With data storage so cheap these days, lots of details could be included.  Stuff like instrument histories (& legends), purchase & delivery stories, upgrades, frame info, gigs, etc.   -Bruce D.
 
Some of you know that I've kept a registry for years now (as has Dave Kean), and periodically post a request for updates.  Basic info: owner's name, email address, model, S/N, country/state located. 
 
The detailed database is a great idea, but won't work in practical terms.  While some tron owners are an open book regarding their trons, a good number of others guard any details like state secrets or like they were housed in Area 51!  Hey, you in the latter category -- get over yourselves!
 
So far (and some have changed hands with new owners preferring to remain anonymous):
 45  MkI's/II's
  8  M300's
181 M400's
 10 MkV's
  2 Skellotrons
  2 T-550's
  2 4-Tracks
 11 MkVI's
  1 MkVII
  7 M4000's
  3 M5000's
 18 Chamberlins (various models)
  4 Birotrons
  3 Orchestrons
