but there would be licensing issues which hand brakes this sort of thing.
Yes, but presumably CPR managed to sort out the licensing issues when they did the playfields, backglasses, etc. so it couldn't be too hard.
A guy in the US built a MM from all the repro parts that have been remade to date, including getting the lane guides and metal ramps custom made and the wiring loom remade.
Great! So it's possible at least.
I think he said it ended up costing him $12,000 all up.
I've been reading on RGP that used MMs are going for a lot more than that in the US lately, up to and beyond $15000. Anyways, we'd be aiming to make a lot of these, at least 1000, so that should keep costs down.
Define "too hard" ???????
I have been down this track for several years now and you simply wouldn't believe the brick walls you come up against...
I am closer than ever to doing something in kit form however.
Stern machines are 80% (my guess) built in China - certainly all of the electronics are - so you had better get over that issue first as mine will be 95% built in China.
I have the factory space already assigned but there are many many many MANY other issues..............
