The Australian distributor sold out of Beatles a few months ago, and then started taking orders for a second production run.
The distributor's web site now says the machines are due in Sydney in September.
That seems to me that it will be a late July or August production run.
The price per machine is the same as the units from the first production run.

Any intel on how many units will be produced?

How many other distributors are currently sold out of Beatles?
a) In the USA
b) Outside the USA

Huh?

Oh, you're being facetious. I get it.

Stern's website has The Beatles as one of the five machines they have currently in production.
A yet unknown number of distributors have placed orders.

There will be a second run, and it will be soon.

Will they produce the full remaining quantity (to reach the 1964 machines in total limit), or a smaller amount?

Thanks for the interesting diversion.

Meanwhile, back to the point of this thread ...
