For some time I have thought that it would be a good thing for
collectors to be able to exchange, sell or trade parts for instruments.
I'm sure that many people, like me, have rescued obscure parts which
now sit in the garage.  Advertizing to sell or trade them is not really
practical, in spite of the extra space it might bring.  Is there a
place on the net that would be suitable for connecting those people
needing a part with those who have too many rescued parts gathering
dust and spiders?  This recently came to my attention when someone was
looking for some Duo-Art control rods and other parts.
