At a 'Buy It Now' price of $3000, what's not to like? Assuming it's not a
scam...

The winning buyer's ID looks awfully familiar. Could it be one of us?

Yes Bernie, I believe it is and I don't think that the drive to pick it 
up will be all that far for him.
I'll bet that motor control card will be the first thing to be replaced.

Nothing to tell. I needed another one and this was too good to pass  up. I'll 
pick it up on Saturday. 
 
Eventually, after a complete overhaul and upgrade, I'll sell it. I just  need 
it until my M4000 arrives. The blue Mellotron (the thing of ugly) is a year  
away from seeing action. It will be extremely labor intensive and I don't have 
 the time or desire to fool with it right now. I have everything I need to  
upgrade and restore this one so why not.

Thanks Bruce.
 
The plan is to leave tomorrow and drive down to NC. We'll Spend the night  
somewhere nice and pick it up on Saturday. Then we'll probably go spend the  
night in the mountains somewhere and come home Sunday. I wonder how I can hide  
an amp in the car? Nah... forget that. I'm pushing my luck as it is.
