And do  MkII's ever show up on ebay? What are the chances of your
average schmuck  ever tracking one down in his lifetime?

The MkVII doesn't do a whole  lot for me. Even if playing Dixieland
gets old after awhile (*gasp*), it  would be nice to have dozens of
sounds available (instead of 3 or  6).

A very pristine Mark II was posted on ebay couple of months back. It  was 
connected to an estate auction in England I believe. As I recall, the  winning 
bidder, after all fees and commissions would have had about $12,000.00  in it. 
Then there would be the cost of crating it and shipping it to the US or  
wherever.
 
Pretty rare.
 
If you want a Mellotron with lots of sounds, I think you should contact  
Streetly about a brand spanking new M-4000. 24 resident sounds and it  won't give 
you a hernia trying to transport it if you want to drag it from place  to 
place. I think you can call them at:
 
1-800-MLO-Tron*
or
Go to Mellotronics.com
