[Rhodes22-list] re placing Mast Boom Car

[Hank]

Tom,

Stan actually calls them a "Boom Slider".  I know because I bought one last
year.  Yes you do have to lower the mast as it slides in from the bottom.
Make sure you ask Stan about just replacing the pin because your car looks
in good shape and they are a bit pricey ($250.00).
