Greetings Gang,   I know for  a fact there are a good amount of
Trons out-there, on our List,esp. But they will reveal themselves
if they so choose.

There's also a concentration of Trons in the Boston region .
Ranging from MK-II to MK-V  .

I think I provided my Tron info before, but will add it again for reference:

MK-I  #124  "Julia"   Acquired in 1998, restoration completed in 2003
M300 #037                  Acquired in 1997, restoration completed in 1998
M400 #681                  Acquired new in 1973, updated/refurb in 1997
JKMK6 #001              Designed and built 1998-2001, debut in Glen Mills 2001

The oldest M400  I'm aware of  is #104 in Bucks Cty, PA.
Brass capstan, front headphone jack,CMC4 controller, etc. Its owner
is not on the list and prefers to remain anonymous.

Cheers,  -- Jerry Korb    (no coffee, but a chocoholic, and it shows ! )
