Greetings All,    The original M400 which I purch. new in 1973
is happily sitting in the living-room. On top is mini 4-Track model
built in 1979,one of two.   The other one I personally presented
to Bill/Nancy Eberline at their Cornwall Bridge,CT residence.
Bill's MK-V was nearby,which I enjoyed playing. That MK-V
has been owned by Pierre Veilleux of Montreal since early 1990's.
It was also loaned for use by Neil Diamond on his " Love At
The Greek" tour and album.

Adjacent to my orig. M400-681, is a cast-bronze M400
acquired from Robert Laughton of Merced,CA. Who BTW,
also sold me  "Julia" in 1998 .

The M300 which I rescued from Danbury,CT in 1997, is  in
my "hobby-room" surrounded by my other misc. interests.
And the JKMK6 and MK1-124 "Julia" have the entire basement
to themselves,in  temp/humidity controlled environment.
Soon , they'll have a "pal" over the fall/winter to keep
them company.

...... It's 10-PM (somewhere). Do YOU know where your
Mellotron is ?? ...........                    -- Jerry K --

My walnut-finished M400, #908, fronts a rack of keyboard; atop the 400 is the 
keyboard controller for the Pinder CD-ROM sampler, the rack stand housing my 
analog Roland Juno-60, topped off by the Akai CD3000i Sampler, all in my 
crowded living room studio.

As to Jerry's reference to the "pal" visiting the JK-MK6 and MkI-124 "Julia", 
that visitor is none other than my MkII-134, "Shararyah" (the former 
Pindertron).  No, we haven't divorced, Jerry (with assistance from the lads at 
Streetly) has graciously agreed to undertake the process of restoring "Sharayah".  
Maybe she'll come back with some special mojo after hanging out with her East 
Coast sisters!

Hi All!
Well as Jerry said My MK I is at Jerry\u2019s House and my 4TRK is at Syko Tron Factory and one Bronze 400 in my studio and a empty 400 Mahogany case with KBD no guts in my living room (for sale).
I do still have 3 of those cute little Bronze casting left.

Howdy Y'All, Attached photo, hope you can see it, is my orig.
M400/681 sitting pretty in New England. Under Les's photograph
with mini 4-Track wooden model and Robert Laughton's
cast-bronze painted-white M400 atop Ibanez Dig. Delay. Enjoy ! - JK -

M400SM #574 is waiting patiently in a lavendar-colored roadcase about 
80 minutes south of me....waiting patiently for me to come up with a 
suitable amount of small, unmarked bills to coax the current owner 
into quick business transaction.

Some day, gents, some day.....
