Wow the mind boggles what it would have cost them to set-up shop, where do you start, R&D, Manufacturing Moulds, Jigs, Tools, Raw Materials, not to mention managing the whole thing and staying competitive against established Pinball manufacturers.
I reckon today with the huge Asian manufacturing market it would be a hell of a lot easier to mass produce a Pinball machine - probably cheaper to have the whole thing built in China and shipped to AUS than doing it here - mind you they probably wouldn't last as long ;)
