Stands to reason that its not going to take forever again... it hasnt taken forever so far. 15 months of being paid up was mentioned?

Absolutely its been a learning curve for Jack - he openly admits that. The guy had to set up his own coil winding line..why?? I bet my arse he thought existing coil manufacturers would supply, but for some reason or another he was forced to set up his own. He has done this with many many parts for WOZ.. each adds a further delay. So why not use existing coils?? We dont know- he hasnt said but i bet its not a pretty story... maybe it will come out in the wash - who knows.

So the mountain was bigger than initially thought..... we all know that - he has been nothing but open and honest about all this which is why i wont hurt his reputation.
ALL pinballs come up for sale crap or not... whats crap to one is magic to another but thats a risk you are prepared to take when you pay up front for something unseen and unplayed.
I think it will live up to everything expected from it.. layout looks good.. lots of toys ( if thats your thing).. its fresh, shiny shiny and made to a point of meticulous detail.
So now he has his own FULL inhouse pinball manufacturing plant... despite this being not expected at the start, it does put him in a unique and fortunate position... control over every aspect and right under your nose.
Once WOZ is out of the way, he should be able to churn out machines at will and at a level of excellence that can be controlled
