Well said,  Jon !   Having an EMI under my roof was a goal some time
ago.

Was impressed upon seeing the nice wooden cabinet of two EMI-400's
(Dave Shapiro from our list, and Dave Amels of my former NJ home-town) .

When I bought  Felix Pappalardi's Tron in NYC from his former mgr,
that led to my finding an M300. In turn , that led me to "Julia" (Robert

Laughton / Gordon Reid ).   Shall  I refuse an EMI only because someone
on eBay thinks it's a "kit?"  .....NADA......

Long-live the unicorn !  ( EMI, 4-Track  , Robert Webb/Gordon Reid's
Half-A-Tron , JKMK6 ,  J-Tron and more......)  Signed, the Irish Rovers
