> Hello Group,

This info just arrived from the seller of the Tron #703 on eBay.

""what are you bidding on, the mellotron or the mouse?????
   and do you really think I would take a picture of an item I'm
   selling on this international site, amongst many of my
   closest peers, displaying a DEAD MOUSE?????? Let alone
   a LIVE one???? I am amused! My cat would surely have
   devoured it, and to be honest, I have never, EVER seen a
   mouse here in my home. I would like to think that I am a
   better woman than that!

   On a more serious note, there is an
   L pad with the XLR and 1/4 in connectors with its
   associated wiring and I can assure you that it has neither
   teeth nor tail. And Besides, a mouse in this mechanical
   apparatus would diminish the sound quality severely, and I
   do assure you, it sounds just like a peice of heaven! Good
   evening and thank you! I am thankful for your jovial sense of
   humor and the laugh you have brought us this evening!!!
   Good luck and Happy Bidding!!!!!! If there is anything else,
   please feel free to drop me a line. By the way, the L pad
   you see at the center of the rear cabinet (where the mouse
   is...) was added by Devo when he owned the unit. ""

No mice, crocodiles,chickens or underwear.
Guess a picture ISN'T worth a thousand words anymore.

Cheers,  -- JK --
