Yeah, I am that guy:)  Hello.  Just joined the board.  I was given a M400 several years ago from the original owner who bought it new in the early 70s.  It had been sitting in his shed and then his damp basement for many years (I think he stopped using it sometime in the 80s) and mice made it into a nice home.  I have it in my studio (I am the keyboard player of Carpe Nota (carpenota.com) but it is in a state of disrepair and I am not skilled enough to to even attempt trying to fix it myself.  I have been hesitant to explore fixing it as I just assume it would be a very expensive proposition and have opted for Mellotron samples instead (don't yell at me:).   I do love the instrument though and am a huge progressive rock fan.  The Serial Number is 554.  One more Mellotron accounted for.
