[Mellotronists] Re: Another M400 on ebay

2004-02-18 by John Hofmeyer

I just met the reserve...

Seems that this list is a little faster at sending me
notifications about Mellotron listings than EBay...

This one does seem to be in good condition - I just
hope that I can figure out how to get it to San
Francisco if I win!
