Who knew he even had one? I wasn't aware that any Beatles even knew what one was.
By the way, Ringo has announced that as soon as Paul dies, he and Joe Walsh are going on tour as the Beatles.

Has this been up before? I hadn't seen it before. I was surprised that I liked it.

It's almost a MkII. It's an FX console. You can see the differences on the control panel.

I thought the cabinet looked a bit odd.

Hi all-
Each keyboard has a split headblock assembly. You could only choose tracks A/B/C on each headblock section, no mixed tracks (just imagine an auto accident and tweety bird mixed- simply wrong!). This split headblock config probably made SFX strategy easier for the broadcasters.

The nice thing about the split headblock is that you can get a split of any of the 3 sounds on the station. So if you had flute/violins/cello on one station, you could can get a split of any 2 of the 3 sounds.
