Can you elaborate on what equipment upgrades or replacements are necessary? I contribute about $100/year but might send an extra payment if capital improvements are necessary.
IIRC, JimRob had about $14k budgeted for new equipment (pictures and descriptions were posted comparing the old and new) with half raised in the FReepathon last quarter and the other half to be raised in this quarter.
But JR posted that likely because of the now rescinded ban on ABO expression on FR, donations tanked to the extent that he had to back out the second $7k budgeted for this quarter's FReepathon to a reduced amount.
I am encouraging all FReepers, ABO and FUMR, to DONATE and help get Jim and FR his new equipment! We need FR to be as robust as possible in this campaign. Then go at it in comments and posts to make your case, whether ABO or FUMR, as hundreds of others are now doing at the linked thread at the top of this thread. Please consider a monthly donation, at least for this campaign!
