To my knowledge Sad Strings isn't in the Memotron library, Vox Humana is an Optigan disc (according to my Montgomery Wards model), Novatron sounds are the same as Mellotron sounds, and the 4 Birotron sounds (sampled at the wrong motor speed and essentially useless) don't make up a library.

seriously i went to a recording studio in parsippany i think it was and this guy brought it with him, with the ease of a menu he could blend sad strings with flutes, cello, then change his mind and load vox humana instead. the thing was amazing, weighed 40 lb, size of a 1980's yamaha keyboard. Memotron is the name of the unit had control knobs just like the original, even had reverb which the other didnt. he told me he imported all the sounds from m-tron software so he had a bank of 100+ sounds ever made even had novatron or birotron forget which one it was.

Notice the second photo... no feet. It appears to be floating in air. The pictures look photo shopped to me.
