The Mellotron Group

It was pretty freaky. It was dark for as far as you could see. I made it  
out at 6:30 this morning. I stayed up all night so as not to be late incase 
the  airport was crazy. It was empty.

Subject:  [newmellotrongroup] Re: Frank Samagaio's gear. Items for  sale.

 
 
 
 
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 personal possessions. I am now the new 
owner of Frank's Mark  II and I am trying to help his sister liquidate his 
other music gear. Needless  to say, the Mark II was his most valued 
possession and I feel fortunate  to  have acquired it. I say this recognizing that 
my opportunity to  acquire it came at the loss of someone I 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 he ran 
from the first floor of  his home. There is a lot of stuff. His family has 
decided to keep his rather  valuable guitar collection, but there are monitors, 
some other keyboards,  keyboard controllers, microphones, power amps, a 
couple of Akai samplers,  attenuators, etc.
 

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









 

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