Mellotronists

I would like some opinions on this unit as a tron emulator.

I have a Vintage Keys II and some of the ASR-10 samples and like them 
for what they are, but I heard this unit was good too. I haven't gotten 
into the virtual trons, etc.. I prefer hardware synths/samplers myself.

I would be interested if anyone has one for sale too. I think it came 
out in 1996.

I don't think I will find a real one for a price I can afford, plus the 
tech problems involved. However, I DO believe in real vintage 
instruments, but the ones I get running again are Hammonds. Hammond 
techs are easier to find, although mine lives a couple of states away.

I tell all the guys on the Hammond lists, if you think YOU have it bad, 
read the repair posts on Mellotrons and count your blessings! ;-)

I also have an ARP Odyssey that needs some TLC, one dead osc., other 
than that fully functional. I hear Wes Taggart from northern Ohio is a 
good tech, but I don't see him post much on the synth lists anymore and 
do not know if he still does repairs.
