The Mellotron Group

I agree about Craig's List, Gary, but she's afraid to have people showing  
up at her house.

Frank, 
It might be  easier to just list that stuff in the local area Craig’s List 
so there are no  shipping/packing hassles.   
A lot of that  stuff is low to mid dollar gear that should move to local 
musicians reasonable  easily and some  
package deals  may be able to be made.  I wish I could help out personally 
but I have  zero budget for music  
right  now.  Best of luck moving the gear. 
Gary

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.
