Daviea:
Thanks guys,

Spyridon -- nope, I can never do small qty on anything -- once I work any bugs out of the prototype, I go full steam and do at least 300pcs of any given part.  For some reason, 300 and 500 have always been my magic numbers.  For instance, 310 tempest spinner shafts, 505 food fight shafts, 512 720 shafts, 304 tempest encoder hubs..... The list goes on.  I think the idea behind it is two-fold.  1.  it cost less per part if I put time into a higher quantity.   2. I am less likely to run out of parts if I make too many to start with.  :-)

Whatever the reason, it seems to work for me. LOL

Heck, just to tool up for any given part is enough for me too want to make large runs.

Daviea:
Hey Kevin,

If people only knew how much work was involved in prepping to make the part, let alone actually running the part, verifying the dims, etc.

Of course, you know how it plays out.  If you've ever looked at a 720 controller or a SW yoke controller, did you notice how many parts they require?  Ouch.

I think it would be a real eye opener for many if they could see the entire process.

Man, look how long it takes us to build one cabinet, that we buy the controls for.  Dave's building his own controls for what, 8 or 9 cabinets, from the ground up.  Pure insanity.

Daviea:
Hmmm....

Well, so far I've been called:

...a little OCD (I'm not sure....my wife calls me ODD)
...a head game playing girl (take a bow mytymaus007)
...a smurf poop artist (thanks friz -- made me laugh with this one)
...insane (ok, maybe a little)

LOL

I love doing this repro work, so even the most tedious of this work still seems like it's playtime for me.
