Quoted from the9gman:Look how much a sheet of plywood cost and what does that do to the cost of making a pinball cabinet.
Not that much in the scheme of a $6000-10,000 pinball machine.
Quoted from the9gman:There is a thread here with a guy making TAF from scratch, his costs so far to reproduce it have well exceeded the cost of a new one in 1993
Crazy argument ... of course it costs more if you make a one off “anything”.
He’s buying one off parts. Williams bought everything in the 1000s.
That guy would have paid $999 USD for a Mirco playfield, Williams probably paid $60 each or something crazy back in 1992-93.
Repro cabinet decals are $250 - Williams screen printed the cabinets for 1/10 of that.
Etc etc etc.
