There will be plenty of USED LE's available to buy before the last LE is manufactured.

I'm 100% supportive of Jack and the machine. I hope its awesome but you have to be pretty naive to think that magically this "assembly line" will become efficient overnight.

Quoted from absocountry2:

I do not think it will take long. He set the assembly line up so that a group of school kids with no training could build the machines. Did you see the pictures of the line?

Yes. I did. I ran a major manufacturing line for a public company. Most assembly lines by nature are not run by guys who have PHD's or have passed the bar.

It's not that easy.

and abs -- there will be used games for sale in 60 days once these games start shipping. It's happened to every game since boards like this have been set up. PEOPLE TRADE GAMES. Even the great and anticipated WOZ.

Quoted from absocountry2:

I assume by run, you mean the actual assembly line workers, not the managers. OK, so in your professional opinion, What did you think of the line? How long will it take to get to 50%? 75%? 100%?

It's so hard to tell. I've been to the Stern factory but I'm no pinball manufacturing expert.

Stern may not make a great product but they are relatively efficient in their process.

If Jack thinks they can make 15 in full production he will be lucky to hitting half that number in a month. 75% in 2 months.

Even if he starts full production day 1 (zero chance) you are looking at a 67 day production cycle. Trust me it won't be 100 days.

150 days seems possible

ALL GUESSES.

Quoted from absocountry2:

They will be for sale within weeks for those reasons, always are. I am not sure where that came from. Did I say that nobody was going to sell them? I did not mean to if I did. It would be silly to think otherwise.

was just responding to your comment, "I don't think it will take that long"

Yes it will.

Games will be traded well before manufacturing of LE games is complete.
