Hallo Mattias, great story! In all those rare self-recorded tapes of the Me=
llotron history it's 
propably the most obscure of all. What you have to tell us all is... how ma=
ny did you paid 
:-) ? And did they realize how rare it is with or without those tapes?

Something different: I had a pub gig with my band =BBQuasifunk=AB yesterday=
 evening and 
during the acoustic part of the set we used the Tron for the simulation the=
 horrible heavy 
pump-organ (nobody wanted to carry it again - we also had a CP-70 with us!)=
. To get a 
more or less long pedal note I suggested to switch to half-speed and use th=
e cello sound. 
With great success! But the short added H from the double bass to fill the =
tape gaps have 
been very low & sounding like a big monster saw... 
Also nice to get the feeling during the tape changes that you have a portab=
le museum of 
scientific history. All those questions. Next time I have little signboards=
 =BBMellotron, ca 
1972, ancient sort of sampler=AB etc. Nice.
