Mellotronists

Thanks, everyone, for the kind and encouraging words.  And thanks, 
Frank, for the info - I feel MUCH better knowing the other bidder was 
truly serious, though sorry for him.  Hopefully, he'll be able to 
locate another soon.

Bottom line is that I'm thrilled, or at least I will be when I pick 
it up.

Later... -Jamie

big brother, so now I'm looking for a MkII.

requesting leads on available units and turned him on to the latest 
eBay tron (he was the 2nd highest bidder).
