[Rhodes22-list] Boom Room Sources

[Goodness]

I have a 1983 model.  Was this one subcontracted out?
I wouldnt mind paying the fee.  He should be professional enough to reply and ask for the money though.  I fear the end of the Rhodes will come if he doesnt offer support to older boat owners....sad.
