Hey Gang,  Great question, Jon !  Was curious about this myself.

Proud to hint at my age, I got my M400 new in July-1973 , I was
age 19.  A full head of hair,bsmt. full of ultraviolet glow posters,
incense, and prog-rock music and the Tron in the bsmt.music room.

"What's wrong with that kid ?"  .....Was a regular comment from
my father.

Anybody on this list  and still own their Tron(s) from the late 60's ??
Mellotron Lifers, stand-up and be counted !!  Cheers,  JK

I bought #510 in 1975   a close second?

I got Jerry beat, but it was a 400 that I later sold after I bought the 
FX console: late January 1973. I've had the FX console since April of 
'74.

Hey! You!
Check out my website: rickblechta.com
It's really great. Trust me...

#500 purchased in 1973(?). Still sounds great, especially with those 
awesome new Streetly EMI tapes and a good head job!
