[board] 6 frame extractor.

[Dana Pepp]

Hi,

I/we so appreciate your work repairing extractors.
Who knew this would be your next gig?!

And, I think we should brainstorm about how we/ MCBA can be most efficient with the extractors - storage, coordination, sharing, etc.

It’s on the list!

Thanks,
Dana
