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.
