Dear All,

If we have any Scientologists amongst us then this is just to let you know 
that we are currently finishing off restoration of L Ron Hubbard's MKII and it's 
a beauty.  Mainly because he received it in 1965 and stopped playing it in 
1967 when he left England to sail the seas on his research vessel.  We suspect 
the footpedal has never been attacked by a shoe in it's life.  Sadly the MKII 
hasn't done a lot for years and at some time in the past naughty fingers have 
messed with the internals and caused tapes to strangle themselves but it has 
got the three arsed bench!  Once it's returned it will be available for viewing 
at Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead where it will sit in L Ron's preserved 
office complete with the letter he started on the day he vacated.  A wonderful 
example of a preserved MKII approaching it's 40th birthday.

Best,

Martin
