If the venerable and relatively scarce Mellotron is described as 
'ultra-rare', what superlatives have I now got left to describe my 
Birotron, one of only 5 known surviving examples?

Cor - do you mean 8 track as in 'cartridge'? If so we could do a bulk 
sale - say $100,000??? (The recorder would be handy for making new 
tapes when the Btron has chewed them!)

Btron #015 - very nearly complete now!
