Thought the minimum # was in the 20 or so. Yes indeed it is an amazing reproduction, and with 3 or more in the queue and likely that way for a 1.5 years, its going to be a while to get another run of this title. BTW, you going to loan or sell that insert tool for ball drain archway? I'll assume it can be used to effectively without damaging, pull it as well.

Now that is the pinball EM world I know and love!

K&Q is a sub-great game as we know due to art and movie. Game play is not all that, but fun to watch for sure with 4 in-line kickers. Assuming about 10% survived (from what I have seen over the years) and in homes in the US. That makes for about 287 examples that are out there in homes. 2% of the US population is in the DFW area. That means to me there is about 6 units of this title in your area. So look around, and put some CL ads out and you will find nearly 1/2 of the need right in your 'hood. With 28 million people in TX alone, that means you have about 10% of the population of the US is in TX, which bumps the number in your state to an estimated 5 times, or about 30 units of that title in TX. Wow, that is WAY beyond what is required for production to make sense. Its called networking, now get a restoration bug up your butt and move along with connecting to the world about your obsessions.

Not sure what a handful is, yet I'll guess around 5. With the run already done, and only a few more needed by some select folks this means to me maybe 10-15 are going to be ordered. That puts it a minimum, or highly unlikely. I'm confident WK does not want to have trade bait around unless there is a ROI of 100-200% per unit produced after folks bail out (which seems to be the MO on about 1/3 or 33% of those ordered.) My take, get folks to pony up 100% and walk the talk, and talk the walk. Otherwise, it is unlikely to be justified.

That is about 50% of the price, as I understand its $700 or so now per PF. I would require that as non refundable, no matter. That way folks actually make a commitment and see it to the end, and not stick the artist with buyer's remorse or other excuses like 'I sold it', 'I changed my mind', 'Was too slow in making it', etc. However, and I don't blame him for wanting to do this if he chooses, WK should be the marketer, not the maker only. He deserves the profit for the efforts (which are HUGE) to make this possible regardless of his already running it or not. There are also license considerations and costs involved he should not suffer from when doing this work.
