Looking to build games for international customers in Europe or Australia to have available to USA shows. Most stuff can be sourced in my city or USA for production. I share a small workshop for production & retired a year a go. So I have the time to build games & ship to USA shows. Your homebrew should be finished already, & I will be building more of what you have done to prove it can be manufactured by a independent contractor.
Not that confusing to me. He is offering to manufacture small runs of prototype machines for homebrew designers outside the US who want to show off their games at US pinball shows. Capiche?
Soooo.. the homebrewer should ship you their one-off and you’d take it apart and figure out a bom and order all parts, wire, etc and put together? Is it assumed that the playfield is already done in cad? Art silk screened or..? Documentation required? Lotta questions here on how this works
The plan is to be a micro manufacturer of mostly 1 Homebrew pinball machines for USA shows for international Homebrew builds. So a clone of one they have already built. I am not looking for a flood of interest since I am a 1 person operation, & rely on contractors. For over 25 years I have repaired hundreds of pinball machines. The last 15 years I have produced hundreds of backglass & playfields. Now that I have retired the last year, & sold off my production business looking to help a Homebrew who thinks that they have a chance to find production.
I will not be posting pictures or updates of what I am working on. So people will not know until they are at a show for play in 2022. Hope to have 1 or more for TPF but time is running out, & Expo would be the other date. I can be reached by phone most times 902-402-7188
Yes I continue to enjoy drinking beer at times! The Homebrew would not be shipped to me or torn apart. Any inkwork would be uv inkjet production which I was a pioneer many years back & took some good abuse on that choice. Yes there would need to be cad drawings & art ready to print. Pictures of what goes where, etc.
