If you paid $100,000 to retool and bring it back to life, how long would it take to get a return on that investment? Im thinking you would sell 1-2 a week at $130 so that would be 100 per year, making about $10,000 a year. I kind see why Unicomp does not want to reproduce these again, any disagree with these numbers?

^ How did you come out with such numbers?

Someone emailed Unicomp for the retooling costs in another thread and I guessed the rest.

The question Im asking is how many DO YOU geekhack.com expect that they would sell in a year and at what price?

It's geekhack.org.

I think we can all agree that this keyboard will never be brought back to life, just not enough demand to warrant the investment, since you guys obviously have nothing to add I'll just go ahead and close this.
