[Rhodes22-list] Looking for a Rhodes 22

[Gregg MacMillan]

Hi Mark--

As Jim said, we also keep our Rhodes22 at Rocky Fork.

I just heard the dock rates will be going up to $300. this year (I  
think they were around $280) last year. Don't know how that compares  
with Cowan, but I know compared to others around here, it's very  
inexpensive. And I'm pretty sure there are plenty available.

Here's a link to the RFSC website. Very nice group... membership is  
around 100.
