The one I bought this weekend looks like it might have taken a face plant at some point (the front corners in front of the keyboard area are a little flattened) but I'm not complaining. It seems to play fine and everything works. And it didn't cost me $3000.

I probably got took anyway. But again I'm not complaining. I've finally got a tron and I'm having a blast with it. Looks complete with the exception of the missing spill box lid. It is a CMC-10, but so far so good. Sounds like a mellotron, warble and all.
