Chuck,
Though my 5-sp has only been in a year, I feel as you do and also have a
ribcase in the side yard. (I have the Morriservice kit from Paul A. First
Rate!)
I've hung onto mine with the certainty that a listmember without a lot of $$
will post a desperate plea. I put about $100 in parts into it, but a really
good sob story and a promise to pick it up themselves will still get it
free. If their sob story sucks, it goes for $100.
I've decided not to throw anything away, and to give away whatever someone
needs that I don't. Good karma could be contagious. I've benefitted from
this attitude myself here on the west coast and understand it is championed
by many on the list all around the country. E-Bay be dammned!
Regards,
Glen Byrns
