Heads up in Midland, Michigan! (or vicinity).
This fellow is looking for a "recycler" to get rid of an 11/84. This
sounds to me like (1), a prime opportunity for any of our rescue folk in
the midwest, and (2), a prime opportunity to educate the fellow getting
rid of it that a recycler is not the only answer.
Please contact him directly if you can help. Thanks!
Attachment follows.
