    Right now NIB price increases are driven by the consumer demand not by the BOM, so very little impact based on tariffs.

    In addition the imported parts probably make up a lot smaller portion of cost than people think.

    The real cost of the boards and screen are pretty low and importing a bunch of plastic and pressed metal parts is ridiculously cheap. Assembling these parts costs way more than sourcing them.

    What isn’t imported? At a minimum-
    Cabinet
    Playfield
    Labor
    Licensing
    Overhead

    These make up a large portion of the cost of the machine. None subject to tariffs.
