Hardy Altex today?

Post by Cat »

Afternoon All, with that time of year upon us I was dropping some oil into an Altex at the weekend, and it made me wonder, with all its hand-made intricacies, and use of 'interesting' metals, how much would it cost for a company to manufacture a run of something of similar quality, and what would the RRP be (very roughly...i would imaginge a retailprice well into the late hundreds)? Obviously, a purely hypothetical question with numerous equations. Regards Cat

In excess of a hand made centrepin I would guess so probably £1,500 - 2,000. Probably the bigger challenge would be finding someone with the skills to actually do the work?

I would imagine that much of the cost would be in the castings and the pattern making involved.
