The following is a partial list of equipment we need and places where they can be obtained. The list is in no way complete, or are the items listed the only brands or models we are willing to work with. We are willing and appreciative of any equipment you could send our way. It is always nicest to have new equipment complete with warrantees, but used equipment in good condition is a blessing too. We are a Non-Profit 501-C3, so all gifts are tax deductible.
