Hi all-

    It's kinda correct.  It may be a bit taller than even the M4000.  Is it heavy enough to be a roadies' nightmare?  I'm thinking it probably is a gutted midi keyboard, with a few knobs and lights for looks (who knows, they may work).  I didn't see anything like a Digital Mellotron or Memotron rack, but that may be inside the box.  It's fun to speculate, and I have often thought of making one based on the available midi rack-mount units.  I guess one of the melly midi boxes can control 2 keyboards, so a quasi-MK2 would be possible.
   As an aside, I've also thought that an M400 in a Mission style quarter-sawn oak cabinet would be cool.  But that's me.

       Thanks
 for the heads-up!  It does seems strange. Is it quite the
 right dimensions for a 400?  It looks like a
 "correct" cabinet, but what kind of keyboard is
 that? Don't KNOW of any 'Tron with a semi-full
 keyboard, but we don't know what we don't know,
 right? It does have the right 3 main knobs, as you pointed
 out, and a red-lit "M" at the top, but no visible
 power switch or track selector. Have to do more searching...
 hmmm...
 Cheers! Berington
