If Icould get some help moving some of this gear it would help. Frank's sister ison disability with terrible back problems and I know her family could use themoney.

 

 

 

I’d sayit is going to the right guy.

 

Of course Iselfishly say that, cuz now I think my chances to take a look at one close upjust increased substantially.

Congratulationsfrank.

And again, mycondolences to the family.

My emotions are mixed. The whole thing is sadder than you realize.I am glad to have it. He wanted to be buried in it. Honest. His family didn'tknow that. Frank didn't play it much. I will.

As I write this, I am sitting in my hotel room here in San  Diego, California. I flew out here for two purposes.As I'm sure all of you are aware, Frank Samagaio passed away some months back.When he died, his sister acquired his music gear and the rest of his personalpossessions. I am now the new owner of Frank's Mark II and I am trying to helphis sister liquidate his other music gear. Needless to say, the Mark II was hismost valued possession and I feel fortunate to  have acquired it. I saythis recognizing that my opportunity to acquire it came at the loss of someoneI considered a friend and for whom this Mellotron meant a great deal.

 

I have a list of Frank's other gear. He had a small studio that heran from the first floor of his home. There is a lot of stuff. His family hasdecided to keep his rather valuable guitar collection, but there are monitors,some other keyboards, keyboard controllers, microphones, power amps, a coupleof Akai samplers, attenuators, etc.

 

Does anyone in this group live in the San Diego area? If so, please contact me offlist if you can help us with moving some of this equipment. Listed below ismost of what he had. All of his tapes and recordings are being kept by hisfamily.

 

Some of this may need clarification. If anyone is interested inany of this, please contact me off list with an offer. Any fair offer will beconsidered. Everything looks to be in very good condition and Frank's sisterwould take anything back if it were for some reason deemed faulty.
