"...a new preamp card has been installed in the head block section..."
This is a significant upgrade. This is lucky #013. Probably built in
1999. Cool.

Hi, all-
I looked at this ad. The seller was asked if the
'tron could be shipped to Europe. The reply indicated
that the seller had no flight case, and the bidder had
to make other arrangements for overseas shipping. I
thought all the new ones included a flight case.
Makes you wonder. How can you lose a flight case?

They didn't include a flight case in the pricing back in 1999. Most
were probably delivered with a case. Brownsville Texas ? Does anyone
know this seller?

Is it Cub Koda?

I think Cub died a few years back.

Yeah, I think around 2001, but he's the only one in the band whose name I
knew...

>I think Cub died a few years back.

the description says,

"I've recorded with the computer model version of this (GForce's MTRON) and
the difference in sound quality is HUGE...The real Mellotron trumps the
MTRON by far and has a huge advantage in audio bandwith (tube preamp!) over
the digitally modeled version"

would you agree to this? disagree? I would have thought that a 1:1 sample of
each note (as in MTron) can't be substantially worse than the original.

It depends on the condition of the Tron the samples came from. The
Trons that the original M-Tron samples came from most likely weren't
in the best condition. Even under ideal conditions, samples can
never match the real thing.

Ann Arbor Michigan (home of BS) is a long way from Brownsville Texas.

This eight year old MK VI went for US $4,326.99. (with one tape
frame, without flight case). A fair price IMHO. The flight case
would be worth about $600 I think.
