Folks, Dave made it by and talked with Mark. He has made some to significant work on the majority of the gear, but he is now involved with a battle with some form of what I conjecture to be a variant of Meniere's Disease as it involves the middle ear, and/or involving some of the optic processing nerves and associated parts of the brain. He currently cannot drive, walk any distance, go up and down stairs, or be involved in activities where he shifts his vision down, without getting dizzy, losing his equilibrium and falling.
With his workshop located down in the basement, and all the gear being down there, I think we are dead in the water right now, until his neurologists and doctors get him back on his feet again. This group of eyesight/brain/ear/balance conditions is rather serious and debilitating, and I have been on the fringe when I came down with labyrinthitis of the inner ear. Please pray for both of them, and we will be checking in periodically to help as we can.
Thanks, Dave
