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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Frank,
 
I too am glad you have the MK2.  I’m very anxious to see some detailed photos and hear it in action.
 
Best,
 
John

Hey Frank-

   It is amazing how far the MK2's travel in their (extended) lifetimes.  Sharayah has found another good home.  My best to Frank Samagaio's family, I am sure they have had a tough time in the last few months.

   You have taken on quite a task to find good homes for his equipment.  If I wasn't so broke at the moment, I would be interested in the M-Audio keyboard.

 

   Take care

  -Bruce Daily

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.

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.

Of course I  selfishly say that, cuz now I think my chances to take a look

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.
