RE:Patrick Moraz's MK-V Novatron...Sold !

Greetings Mellotronists,

Thank you all for your excellent responses since my announcement
of 28-July.    MK-V Moraz-O-Tron is sold !     A couple of days
ago, a deal was finalized  between its current/future owner.

This means I gotta move my arse and get the beastie finished.
Cabinet is left as-is to retain provenance of the YES/Moodies/Moraz
years......and  geez, there's a LOT of provenance !   But not as bad
as the FripperTron MK-II .

JB also provided his initials inside, dated 24-April-1981 .
Clearly seen , written with yellow china marker.

As mentioned last week, it retains most original electronics,
except the pan controls were removed, and MXR Phaser installed
integral to preamp/control panel.   RH keyboard has orig. 105
Moraz/Moodies FX, which can be heard on "Long Distance Voyager"
and  "Rime......Sampler."  LH keyboard has YES Violin phrases,
Moog Brass (earlier version), and std. Cello.

You can see PM playing the beastie on Moodies' DVD "Legend Of A
Band , 'The Voice. ' "

Best Regards from the Mellotron Ranch,  -- Jerry and Mali
