I don't know of such a source...but there should be one....of course the
Drake resellers will get upset, as it might dry up their source of parts.

One step would be to have a database of parts/rigs that folks have available....
that'e easy....I can have one up on the website within a day or so.

Tell me the structure of the database,,.,,and look at
http://www.zerobeat.net/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi
for an example.

If interested, let's discuss the database structure.
