Greetings Clay, The last two years have been very stressful on the wife and myself. Home-caring for my elderly mother with advanced
Alz-Dementia took its toll on us.
After her passing, I've been frequently pondering my life/future, etc. Mellotrons have been one of the positive driving forces all these decades. Have loved to play them,restore them, and make great friends worldwide. Never would I have imagined this in 1973.
It's with reluctance and some sadness that I've decided to downsize all my collectibles and interests. We're planning to move to a smaller home, which cannot accept the volume of material acquired thru the years. Those of you who have seen my things understand this very clearly.
Except for MK-I #124 "Julia", I'm planning to sell the following items :
1) My original M400,purchased new in 1973
2) M300 acquired in 1997, and restored. Contains original factory "B"
tapes
3) One-Of-A-Kind JK-MK6 ,built by myself from 1998-2001. Seen in Philly 2001. With spare parts, documentation,and more.
4) Ten (10) populated M400 Tape Frames. In corrugated boxes and cases
5) Many many parts,mechanical,electrical, BA-hdwe,etc. Too numerous to list.
6) Ten pairs of orig. 1960's Wharfedale 12" speakers. Collected for
MK-I/II projects.
Please email me privately at your convenience.
Take Care, -- Jerry Korb and fam.
(I will ask Jerry if It's OK to post his email address here. Clay)
