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. 
Jim

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.
