Yamaha is clearing out all of their parts stock in Buena Park from my understanding.

Paul has the National Service Contract for Yamaha and they shipped over several palettes of parts, boards, Hardware, and so on.

Paul and I are in discussion on what to do with this stuff and clear out some space.

I have heard that others have approached Paul with their inventory in similar manner.

This could mean a new supply point for other to use as a rich place to get parts.

Problem here is we have no idea of the magnitude of parts as we did not get a modest of what was being shipped over.

This means that we would have to exert energy to organize and advertise for Web sales etc.

The main problem is that he is also swamped with work. I am looking to help out, but I have limited time to sort all of this out and organize.

Does this help you understand what we have gotten into a bit?

best to all,

Terry
