How many games could be assembled by two guys working 40 hours a week? They obviously assembled the original prototypes, and are probably more familiar with it than most. If they could source all the parts, even in small batches, wouldnt them cranking out a dozen games a month be better than nothing? Everyone has some kind of overhead, and every week that goes by isn't DP's bankroll getting smaller and smaller? Especially since this all looks like it is going to continue to drag out, wouldn't games dripping out be better than nothing? Maybe I am wrong what it takes to manufacture and assemble a game, but what exactly are DP doing 8 hours a day, 5 days a week?

Quoted from RTR:

Hmmmm, 104 games per year output. Rumor is Jaap and Barry together pull 80,000 euros a year out of the company. Puts the labor cost per machine at 769 euros, probably a lot cheaper than ARA. They love pinball so much and since this is their dream they wouldn't mind putting in the hours.
ARA - Please let Barry and Jaap have a corner of the warehouse. They will bring their own nut drivers. They can work this off in about 2 years - everyone whole!!

I'm not well versed in manufacturing or assembling games, and was genuinely curious. Obviously it's not ideal, but you can eat anything if you take enough small bites. I know the math has been posted throughout this thread, but I'm still missing how this all gets done the way it is right now. Either way it goes down, hope it works out for all involved.
