Return of The Finger Board.
First, I apologise for the cross posting. I hope you don't mind me doing a little market research.
So, playing around with the arcade kit again recently, I soon found
myself craving jamma fingerboards. About a zillion years ago I had some
of these manufactured but looking around I see there are now a variety
cheaply available.
Now, good as those boards are, i didn't see any
that offered the same features as my boards, specifically the ability to
make a completely solid adaptor with no flexing wires that can
eventually break.
So here's the question. Should I get a new
batch made? I redrew the thing in Eagle the other night and priced it
up. I'd have to sell them for around £2 each (remember you can snap
these in half in which case you get 2 edge connectors for £2 that are
very similar to the ones that sell for around £1 each) That price
guestimate is based on having 300 odd made. If you'd be interested in
having 5 or more please let me know and I'll put you on the notification
list but there is no obligation to buy.
This will help me
greatly in determining if the project is worth pursuing or if people are
happy with the finger boards that are available now. And I'm not
knocking the existing boards. They all fit in their own niche.
