They probably did some ouija board consultation, came up with a projected demand, rounded up to the nearest thousand, and made a batch. And then moved on to other things. (This is the same answer I would give if you asked about the FA* 200/4.0 Macro.) Pure speculation of course, but i would think that the economics of running multiple production lines with multiple products, all of which would depend on subcomponents from various suppliers, would dictate a batch-mode process: stock the materials (and/or get a supply flow established), build “enough” plus a few, ship them out (and let the wholesalers and retailers worry about a place to store the to-be-sold stock), reconfigure the line, and start making something else. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
