Yeah,  for that price the buyer could have gotten a fine piece of

put a nice synth or  a Hammond XK-1 on top.

I'm not sure we have an equal understanding of the exchange rate and  
shipping costs. Still, the M4000 is the way to go. By the way, I will soon be  
selling two very nice Mellotron 400s on eBay. They are far superior the one that  
was just sold, but will go for a much better price. Both are fully updated with  
and electro-mechanically fully updated. Both have SMS-5s and two speed 
switches  (though not mounted through the control panel face plates. The white one 
was has  a pretty good history (played by Chicago and a few other well know 70s 
bands.)  The other one was wretchedly tortured (updated) by Sound Sales and 
then  painted by a blind troll with a can of black paint and a broom ( and 
probably a  brain full of LSD). Of course I have made it even better by fixing 
everything  inside but leaving the outside intact. I may actually paint it 
outside, the  inside is done... But it is so weird that I have grown to love it.
 
So look forward to lots of Mellotronia on ebay.
