But how  did you hook up with the Tron? Who sold it to you? And who finally 
took it  off your hands?



I'd love to be able to provide interesting anecdotes of how the unit was  
found and lost within such a short space of time. But, but back in the  early 
80's the only place to buy and sell anything like this here in the UK  was Melody 
Maker, and that's how it happened.
Maybe I should have made something more colourful up....
All I can say, is that having early electronics on board, it went in and  out 
of tune like crazy. And don't forget, Mellotrons were being dumped  
everywhere in favour of the new polyphonic synthesisers during that period. 
Shame on us..
