this is assuming that there would be no machining or anything other than assembly. all decals would be done. bottoms would be populated and the proto machines all work correctly. |

Wouldn't be much left to do. Populate the top of the playfield and plug it in.
If it mean't the difference between 3 months or 3 years, yeah, I'd take a kit.............. _________________ Mike

RazerX and I were talking about it last night. we would definetely come down to Bloomington for a weekend and put together games. it would be great to see how many we can do in a weekend. I'm betting on at least absolute minimum 4 a day per person (assembled well and not slapped together).
If we go assembly line with more people it will be even faster.
STERN is putting together 75 games a day including wiring harness playfield mechs and the playfield bottoms.
If you look at their production line there's only like 3 or 4 people assembling the tops.
so 4 weekends with 4 people and we should be done.
I totaly dont see what the hold up is. let us help.

Where's the small rebate? Maybe a $500 check? |

I'd venture to say there'd be no rebate, you'd just have to wait for your machine.
I think if it happens, you should have to work a weekend at PMI. Then you could pull your parts, under a watchfull eye, so if your shorted, it's your problem.
I don't think that the machines are sub-assembled to the point that one could complete 4 in a day. If one can complete 1 + units over a weekend and take their kit/machine home, it should knock off a lot of machines judging by the interest that is showing. |
