Level42:
@Mamemaster!: Pretty interesting to see you already wrote an article about a product that isn't even here yet. :dunno
I agree with prOk. I've sometimes been unkind to David, and he's always stayed cool and kind. More than kind.
In my book he already deserves a statue for all the parts he has made available.
Parts for which there are NO alternatives.
Parts that no-one else would even consider producing because of the simple reason that it's _highly_ doubtful that he will even break even.
Parts are not just equal to original quality but way over-specced in many cases.
Yes, in all honesty it may have been best to not set a deadline, but this is a labor of love. It's a hobby. It's not a daytime job.

How is that different from any small business? That is the owner's time and the owner's dime too.

Because the guys doing the repros aren't putting food on the table with their arcade work, they are usually taking food away from the table with it.
RealLife trumps arcade nerds.

The people paying for the product did the same thing. It's a circular debate.
CheffoJeffo:
If he were keeping the money and not making things right with those who want their money back or partial orders shipped now, then it might be circular.
As it stands, it isn't.
