Re: EMG Mk VIII on UK eBay.
Wonderful sound and many thanks for allowing us to hear it. You obviously have a top Meltrope III there. The Paillard GGR 255 motor also seems to be in excellent order---they are beautifully made and very high quality. Lots of enjoyment and happiness down the line.............

Congratulations, lovely sounding Wilson horn EMG.
I am surprised it was not snapped up when the correct 2-spring soundbox was also on ebay.
Good to see it playing.

Welcome aboard, Ahmed.
I'm so happy that this machine has found a worthy home. I do hope that you will share more videos in the future.

Welcome to TMF from me as well, Ahmed, and another hearty "congrats!" I guess I didn't realize you were NOT on here already.
