Looking to contact "kitabel"

[Lonnie Adkins]

Also known as Jeffrey Diamond. His zip code puts him in Lynbrook NY. AMCA Membership Number 35043 Has (had) VictoryLibrary.com which has a boatload of info on lots of old machines. I've tried to download some of his info on the 45 Magnum, but the .pdf is to go to an email and PayPal doesn't like that. I understand he has had some issues with his health. His last interaction here was on 04-19-2023. If anyone has any info they could share it would be appreciated. ThanX! In advance

ThanX! Robbie I can get there but I've ordered his .pdf on the 45 Magnum, and got no response. Paypal even gave me my $$$ back. I'm hoping for his sake and his family's, that he is OK, what with health issues I read about. I'm also hoping for the sake of the community and myself that he's still around and kicking. The possible loss of such knowledge would be devastating. And isn't that a problem? I'm 68, He's about 10 years older than me and most everyone with this kinda knowledge is not getting younger

I know that 'Kitabel' commented under a 911 post back in 2019. In it, he stated that his office was right near ground Zero, and after 2 weeks, they re~opened and he went to work everyday in that rubble for the 2 years of non~stop cleanup. I hope he is OK also.

He last posted on the Hydra-Glide forum back in October.

Does anyone know the status of Kitabel. I just ordered the Linkert book from his website. When I saw this post, I emailed sales@victorylibrary.com and it bounced back. Payment went through with Paypal. After a couple of days, no confirmation of order, so I am curious.

Thanks,
Erik

He posted on the Hydra-Glide forum on the 2nd Dec, so he is doing some looking. He has had some health issues though so not very consistently posting.

Thanks Rubone.

I got an email just yesterday from Fred Davis, Lake Erie Chapter with Mr. Diamonds phone number. I spoke with Mr. Diamond this morning. He is now in a home and is not well, several medical problems that no one should have to go thru. That said, we talked for a little over an hour concerning motorcycle engines and the many differences just in HD 45s. Mr. Diamond gave me permission to post his "other" email here in the forum "jdiamond753bc@gmo.com" <jdiamond753bc@gmo.com> Some info for others who may be interested - he is certain that any problems with ordering is due to not having your email set up to receive from his jdiamond@optonline.net I'm not sure, myself. The best answer for refund would be to tell PayPal you didn't receive the file(s) You could contact Mr. Diamond at the emails I have above and see if that helps.

Sadly, I don't think he is long for this world. I promised to stay in touch with him, and while I don't know his family situation, I suspect he gets a bit lonely in a home, especially during a large holiday season like Christmas.
