Mellotronists

You sum it up totally here, Jon!.. We're all very privileged to be
custodians and evangelists of these bizarre machines whilst we have the
chance. A 400 is STILL a little bit of magic even though it lives in the
shade of its more accomplished siblings. I saved hard for my 'Tron, and I'm
proud of it!!

CfN!!
