Default Things like this take...

time, ingenuity, and a little money.

This is my scoreboard. I have been working on this for many years. It took a backseat when I began to play in the DFW. Guys think you're just shooting off hot air when you speak of these significant inventions but trust me, they do exist.

When I tell guys I've got players who can talk, I have no reason to lie! I have so many wonderous things that will probably never make it to the assembly line because of what they require.

What you are looking at is scoreboard that I designed. It is significant in that I've had this item for more than 17 years! This is what I studied in school as an electrical engineer. I never had the time or even interest to make this. If I saw the financial value, I would have created this years ago. The demand needs to be great to produce something like this in a meaningful way. I wonder if it is???

Default

when will it be ready for use?? I don't about the cost but if it works let's use it.

I still use the Miggle clock ($25-40) and it still gets the job done.

Default It works but I just...

can't justify the cost of creating this and knowing that just a few people will buy it.

For me, it's about the investment of putting back into it but it has to be a prudent move. I would love to have something like this but it is an investment.

Default Small Market

If your doing it just for Electric Football then DON'T DO IT. TOO SMALL OF A MARKET. Not worth then time, effort, or MONEY.

If you are doing it with the idea of using with other taple top games, or to market in some other way, then MAYBE.

Do your market research!!!

Default RJ, it is built

but check out the post on Internet TV. I've got it! It's just a scoreboard I've had for some time. No need to invest anything into it. I've got it for myself.
