Martin,
 
Thanks for the back story on Pete's Novatron. He's coming to visit it  this 
afternoon (since I'm borrowing it for NEARfest) and bringing me his ARP Pro 
 Soloist for some work.
 
Who's never going to Johannesburg again, you or the Novatron? We believe  
that there is little likelihood that the Novatron will go there unless it up 
and  leaves on its own.

Broadcasting Company in 1980 as an SFX unit for TV and  radio.  It was one of 15 
they ordered and we managed to buy 10 of them  back in 1998.  Never going to 
Jo'burg again.  What a dump!
