[Rhodes22-list] Boom

[Chris Geankoplis]

Dear Esther,
            Looks like Bob came to the rescue with the pictures.  Also my
description was wrong on my first post as it was a double block not single
attached to the end of the boom.  Try finding the parts on E-bay or even
craigs list thehat can save the troop some money perhaps.  Good luck.
