Mellotronists

The last Chamberlin M-1 like the one pictured I saw was offered a
couple years ago at a set sale price of $5,000 from a music store in
Minnesota (?) or somewhere in the upper Midwest/Great Lakes region. It
seems it was offered for sale right here on Mellotronists. Did anyone
we know get this one? Apparently, that one was in perfect running order. 

Cosmetically correct, I bet they are impossible to find...a keyboard
skinned with wood grain over chipboard like Wal*Mart entertainment
center furniture just doesn't look exactly mint after 40+ years.

I wish one of these would drop in my lap at an affordable price (don't
we all)...after a MkII and before a Hammond XK-1. I woulda said B-3
but don't have the space nor the ooomph to move it when hoovering the
carpet.
