Hi Mike,

$80 for the motor #2, John - can you install BB?


Sure thing... what the heck. A can bearing is always a good thing. I haven't done one in a while, but I seem to remember the end bell bushing pocket being a bit loose on the Hawks... but it shouldn't be a problem.

***Okey dokey, so every one should know that the specs for "Motor #2" have just been upped to include bearing installation. Hopefully Greg will stick the additional detail in post #1.

Done, but the note about the can-side ball bearing was added to post #3, where the details of MOTOR #2 are listed.

A little more than a day to go on this auction, which ends tomorrow night at midnight Eastern time. Added two great bids in the last few hours...

Here's the car from Frank's collection that Momma and Brian selected...


Frank always would set in the shop and create some really cool stuff.

He was also into HO racing also; what about some HO stuff??

Well, guys, we can only auction the items that get donated... and this go-round, no HO stuff was offered.

Please don't forget, the bidding on this auction closes tonight at midnight Eastern time!!

The winning bidders have been added to post #1, with two exceptions.

One winner requested anonymity and one I need to have contact me to confirm my memory. I can't locate the original bid email and want to be certain before naming the winner.

And... damn it!! I forgot to add Ray Fellow's three Nodas bodies posted in #23 to the bidding page!!! I'm sorry, Ray, but considering my work environment the last three weeks, I'm not surprised I screwed up.

What to do?

Shall we leave the bidding for the bodies open until Sunday night? If so, I'll add them to the bidding page. Tell me what I should do after dropping the ball like this...

Ah, I found the PM with the bid.

The winner of the Frank-built car is Ray McGlone. I have updated the bid page.

I received confirmation from Greg that payment for all three motors has been received. #1 and #3 will go out in the next day or two. As soon as I get the specs for motor #2, I'll get busy on the little guy. :)

Thanks for doing this, Greg!

The proceeds from Mr. Frank auction II total $430 and I have initiated the PayPal transfer so I can get it sent off to Akron's Children Hospital.

Thanks to all the donors and the bidders!!!

PayPal finally got the $430 proceeds from the Mr. Frank auction II to me and I'll be mailing a check for that amount to Akron Children's Hospital this afternoon.

Willy,

It is our pleasure.

If Frank were still with us, I have no doubt at all that he'd be first in line to assist with any similar charitable activity here at Slotblog. That's just the kind of person he was.
