Any recent Motorman contact?

I have sent a handful of email inquiries to Eldon (motorman) recently about
some motors and projects, and not received any replies.  He does get
very busy from time to time, but this is unusual and I am getting concerned.
Usually my inquiries spawn a slew of data sheets and other information about
motors coming back from him.

Has anyone been in contact with him or heard from him in the past few days?

(I do not have a way to reach him other than email or postal mail).

Heh, Yes, I know, Chris.  He's had that photo (of my 4-6-2 guts) for a while.
Remember, that project began as a sort-of joint effort between Eldon and me.  He wanted me to
take a Kato C55, and one of his gearhead motors, "make something good out of it", and then take
photos and do a write-up that he can use for instructions and advertising to other customers.

But that photo was put up there on eBay months ago.   I know he still has stuff on eBay.   Call me
a nervous Nellie, but I get nervous when somebody who usually answers, and has had health problems,
doesn't answer.
