Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccallboater Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You can pull my Joe Brown helmet from my cold, stiff fingers after I'm dead. Bought in 1978. But you can borrow it maybe. What gives? Movie? My alpine hammer still gets used too. So I wouldn't sell it. But I do have a pair of straight shaft X-15's I'd like to get rid of for cheap.

Also an old timer canvas frame pack and a gold line rope. probably more in boxes too. let me know if you are interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolyn Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Im doing some teaching and consultation for a production of K2. The play is dated in the 70's. I meet with the set and costume designer tomorrow, so they may have some leads. My guess is Im meeting with them because they dont really have any idea how to get ahold of this stuff. The more realistic the better, though we can probably get away with some modern equipment. Pound ins and tools are most important in my eyes,according to the screenplay. I will keep you posted if the above items you have offered are wanted. They will obviously pay for the gear and shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Is this for a film? We could rent you Opdycke by the hour, but you have to block book him in 72 hour blocks at $82 per hour. Short of getting Beckey he's as old and snargly as they come. He's going to want his own trailer though - and nubiles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolyn Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hey thanks! No, not the movie. Its the play,which the movie was based off of - though changed to the point of not having any relationship to the play. Anyway, post photos of anything you have that I listed above or you think we might be able to use. You can do it on this thread or PM me with it. Im gathering what I can off ebay and a few other websites and will likely present them to the director in the next week or so. Name your price when you send the photo. Hope Im able to take some of this stuff out of your hands and maybe put some bucks in your pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
