A database is a great idea.  With data storage so cheap these days,  lots 
of details could be included.  Stuff like instrument histories  (& legends), 
purchase & delivery stories, upgrades, frame info, gigs,  etc.   -Bruce D.



 
Some of you know that I've kept a registry for years now (as has  Dave 
Kean), and periodically post a request for updates.  Basic info:  owner's name, 
email address, model, S/N, country/state  located. 
 
The detailed database is a great idea, but won't work in practical  terms.  
While some tron owners are an open book regarding their trons, a  good 
number of others guard any details like state secrets or like they  were housed 
in Area 51!  Hey, you in the latter category -- get over  yourselves!
 
So far (and some have changed hands with new owners preferring to  remain 
anonymous):
 45  MkI's/II's
  8  M300's
181 M400's
 10 MkV's
  2 Skellotrons
  2 T-550's
  2 4-Tracks
 11 MkVI's
  1 MkVII
  7 M4000's
  3 M5000's
 18 Chamberlins (various models)
  4 Birotrons
  3 Orchestrons
