Re: [Mellotronists] Mellotron prices

Martin,
Any M300's available? Since we now know how to make them run as 
well as any other tron an M300 might be a viable proposition for 
someone who wants a MkII but can't afford the price. How much for 
a restored M300 these days?

 <<The days of finding a bargain price on a Tron or Chamberlin 
would seem to be gone for good>>

The reason we're going to be building new trons is just this. A 
beaten up machine costs nearly 2000GBP BEFORE restoration. A 
realistic price for an as new machine with twelve months guarantee 
should therefore be 3500+GBP and you still have the shipping costs 
to add in plus customs. A new M400 will be around 3000GBP plus 
carriage. This would appear the be the way forward. Don't ask 
about MKIIs. The five we have are all sold and the last purchase 
price we paid would scare the dead. Think in terms of 12000GBP 
for a restored machine and you might just be close..ish!

Best,

Martin
