The Mellotron Group

Steven,
 
Thank you for that. All of frank's gear is in his sister's garage and is  
well protected from weather. She doesn't know how to do eBay or Pay Pal so  
before I go through the process with her of setting up those accounts, we 
agreed  that his stuff should be offered to any interested parties here and 
then perhaps  post it on Facebook. Helen is not in great physical health right 
now although  she is not by any means old. She suffers from a herniated disk 
and is in  terrible pain. The biggest difficulty beyond finding buyers is 
getting Frank's  stuff boxed and shipped. So Any help from any source will be 
appreciated.
 
Frank

I'm glad to see that his Mk II has gone to a place  where it will be 
valued.

I'm not in SD but have a brother there. I  would be willing to drive 
down to help move things/pack things.
