I did it; I googled the keyboard action of Birotrons and I found just as  
many complaints about the keyboard action as I did compliments... zero. 
Either  the jury's still out on that question, or more likely... no one gives a 
shit. If  the machine was any good, it would have survived. I think that says 
it all.  Mellotrons survived.
 
So let's just leave this subject subjective. It's like arguing if farts  
smell good or not, or if the transmission in a Chevy Vega shifts smoothly.
 
I, for one don't give a rat's ass about the Birotron. I don't want one. I'm 
 merely interested in how Mike came to form his opinion. Birotrons were a 
small  wart on the giant, elephantine ass of progressive music. (how do you 
like that  one, Rick?)
 
Oh wait.... I just remembered... there might still exist about a hundred 8  
track tape cassettes that aren't buried in landfills around the world.  
Let's build another Birotron. Then there will have been what... eleven built, 
or  something like that?
 
Get a laugh.
 
Frank
