Jacks story doesn't really ring true to me.
He lost me when he started taking deposits on a second machine without ever having delivered the first - too dodgy to me. I don't care how good WOZ is/might be - it is just outright shifty businesss practice given the stupidly long delays with WOZ.
Given the deposits JJP has I would be shipping machines both built and kits from PRC within six months - no excuses and no bullshit about problems with manufacturing in USA.
Nicely put, I had the same gut feel.
When you start a business, you do it tough for the first 5 years and you do it with your own or borrowed money. Customers then pay you for your finished product or service. You do not pay for a new car and then wait 2 years for delivery, why should it be any different for pinballs?
