Howdy, Y'all.

Oops...sorry, forgot I'm not from Texas.

There a registry on DK's site...but try getting access to it!  I've been 
keeping an unofficial list of trons, etc, as I come across them one way or 
another.  Most, but not all, have serial #'s; a few just the knowledge that an 
individual owns it w/no # available.  That list presently includes:
     35 MkI/II's                              8 300's
     87 400's (including yours, Andy)        5 MkV's
      1 4-track                                0 T-550's
      5 MkVI's                                 1 JK/MKVI
      3 Birotrons                               5 Chamberlins (mostly M-1's)
      1 Orchestron
There's also a few saved postings with machines/#'s that haven't been merged 
in to the list yet.

Feedback?  Compiling a list is one thing - Would tron owners want this 
information to be readily/openly shared?
