I've just joined

2002-09-30 by Les Fradkin

Hi gang! Just joined this group. I've been a tron user and owner since
1969! Have owned and used Mark II #123 and M400 #1285 on dozens of 
records in both the US and UK. Just read the Mellotron book. Very 
fascinating but the album list appears to be far from complete. Many 
entries are missing. But still a great book. These days, my tron for 
road tours with Edison Lighthouse is the G-Force "M-Tron" sitting in an 
Apple Powerbook laptop within Cuebase and / or Digital Performer, with 
all the tape catalogue present and accounted for. This surely beats 
lugging around a Mark II (which I have always considered superior to 
the 400 for sound quality). Although my Mark II was never a high scorer 
in the reliability category and constant cycling problems occurred 
every time I moved it for a show or record date, it still remains my 
favorite of all the models manufactured.

Regards,
Les Fradkin
