I don't mean to horn in or overplay, but I am happy to help make sure
the units are produced and would be happy to make sure no one loses
money on the production. I regularly have turn key assembly performed
for units, and I'm happy to run 100 units to get the pricing down even
if there's no immediate need for 100 units.

Probably can't help you there, but I do hate to see folks lose money on
their hobby.
