The Mellotron Group

I had one for a period of time when I was around 20. I rented it for a  
while and then bought it for $1800.00 1972-1973. I think Jamie Robertson may 
own  it now.

That's interesting.  I believe that  would be about $24,000 (1967 =100) in 
today 's dollars.  That  price is about $1,000 higher than a Hammond spinet 
in the early  70's.  "L" and "M" Hammonds probably about half that much  
used.
 
Wonder how one could afford a Tron  then.  Did studios buy them and lease 
them?

Seeing all the posts about the price of the Tron on eBay, I've a copy of  a 
letter I received in 1972 from DMI quoting a price on a new M400 as  
$3,500.00.
