Seems that eBay is awash in offerings:

The Novatron is our Mr. Pete Marabus - anyone else on the list??
The images of Richard Chamberlin's notes for the M-1 are interesting.

I don't think I will be parting with $16000 anytime soon.

The one for parts looks in a worse state than mine was, nice to see all the screws on the keys fully tightened down. Hopefully it will eventually find its way to Frank. $2800 seems a lot though.
