[Nhcoll-l] Re-homing Space Saver systems steel shelves

[Pamela Horsley]

Hi all,

I would like to jump on Rod's theoretical bandwagon as well. The San Diego
Natural History Museum may be looking to offload some Geology cabinet
compactors in the coming months. The carriages hold 5-6 Geology cabinets
stacked 2 high. I can provide more details should anyone be interested.
Please feel free to message me privately.

Thanks and take care,
Pam
