It won't be MK II. It's either an M400 or a
Chamberlin on Turn The Page. Not sure about We've got Tonight.
It sounds more like Mellotron to me on both, but
the person who I purchased a Chamberlin from
says the M1 I was buying was the unit
used by Bob Seger's keyboardist Robyn (Robby) Robbins.
On this one - who knows for sure? They use the same 3 violins sound but you can make a Chamberlin sound tron-like with effects etc. The instruments also have a history of being confused because 3rd parties often wrote liner notes etc.

Perhaps we should say "illiterate, romper room
rejects" instead of third parties :)

Actually, if someone tells you "Mellotron" or "Chamberlin" over a telephone, and you don't know what they are at all, then it's likely to be written as a mistake.
What I want to know is:
1) whose stupid idea is it to shrink the TV screen to half a page at the end of a show with some interrupting (rude) announcer talking, and rolling the credits by at 1000 miles per second?
2) whose dumb idea is it to have the station logo take up the entire bottom corner of the TV screen?
3) Can we draw and quarter this person? :)
...jeff [resident "illiterate, romper room reject"]Well I can be referred to as a "monosyllabic moron" sometimes.

Please include the miscreant that decided it would be okay to squeeze the
vertical aspect ratio of the picture to fit asinine chyrons at the bottom of the
screen.
