[QUOTE="jdeleski, post: 2454770, member: 33307"] [b]Note to Bobitron[/b] Bobitron, I reviewed the Eliason webpage and arrived at the following conclusions regarding your motorized toboggan purchase: [u]WHICH MACHINES ARE ON ORDER?[/u] [list] [*]In 1933, Eliason's operation is still very much in early Phase 1; Phase 2 was not started until approximately 1939 or 1941 or so. [*]The bottom picture on the Phase 1 webpage is actually a near-Phase 2 machine, therefore that's [u]not[/u] one that's being built for you. If you look at the patent diagram on the Phase 2 webpage dated 1941 and 1943 (or view the 1939 video clip), you'll see that those items nearly match the bottom picture on the Phase 1 webpage. [*]I've therefore attached a picture below of the machine that I believe is being built in for you in 1933. [/list][u]ELIASON PRODUCTION CAPACITY[/u] [list] [*]The Phase 1 webpage states "[size=4]Continuing development and refinement during the 15 years of production at Sayner lead to generally larger models of Motor Toboggans. As many as 40 Sayner snowmobiles were built and sold with no three being exactly alike." [/size][size=2]40 machines over 15 years at the Saynor site translates into approximately 3 machines per year. [/size] [*][size=4][size=2]The Phase 1 webpage also states [/size]"With Sayner production limited to eight or nine units per year, anticipated World War II production orders could not be met." [/size][size=2]Therefore, even at approximately 1939 or 1941, they were limited to producing 8 or 9 units per year.[/size] [*][size=4][size=2]Based on the above statements, I believe that they will be unable to meet your order of 4 machines between June 1933 and September 1933. [/size][/size] [*]My initial thinking is that Eliason could rush 2 units for you by mid/end of August and put 2 on backorder for delivery in November. I'm open to discussions on this, and depending on how you roleplay your meeting with Eliason, might adjust things. [/list]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one). [/QUOTE]
