Hmmm--didn't sound like a Mellotron, eh?

That's how you get an Optigan CHEAP from a thrift store! Makes me 
wonder how many Optigans donated to Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. 
are thrown away because no one knows to tip down the front to put the 
discs in to "make a sound"...

Seems I would have put the muff in a separate auction. I'd love to 
have just the muff! Anyone know how many muffs were made...and if 
there were protective muffs for the other models?

Dave Kean loaned me his muff to get my unit home in the back of my 
station wagon...knowing I'd come back in a few weeks to get a spare 
loaded rack (which was wrapped in lots of towels for transport that 
time)

I don't know if Muffs were made for MkIIs (how were they carried 
about by Streetly/Mellotronics?), I've never seen one. I have a Muff 
for my M300 though but it's the only one I've seen.

What are the current values for a 400?
