[Coco] MPI Locking Plate

[tonym]

I'll take one, simply because you're doing a new project for the coco :)

Don't know if I'll ever use it, but I'll support those creating stuff for the CoCo when I can.

Cheers!

If 2 or 3 total, not worth my time really.  I figured on doing a run for as many as can be fit on a standard sheet of plastic.  He will charge me his cost for the sheet, "machine time" for the run, and I do all the finishing.

So, if enough interest, I will pursue it this week to get material costs and aching time costs together so we have an idea of totals.  Once we complete the drawing and prove the concept, then it is simply material and machine cost....

How many you want if reasonably priced?

Tom

If you could give a $$ ball park figure, I am sure folks would be in a
better position to commit to financing your project with a purchase.
