The Mellotron Group

If I could get some help moving some of this gear it would help. Frank's  
sister is on disability with terrible back problems and I know her family 
could  use the money.

I’d say it is going to the right  guy. 
Of course I selfishly say that, cuz now I  think my chances to take a look 
at one close up just increased  substantially. 
Congratulationsfrank. 
And again, my condolences 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't know 
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 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.
