MOTM

Paul S's success with the MOTM system is nothing short of 
astounding.  Essentially on a shoestring, and in his part-time, he 
has built a business which rivals the legacy of Moog's modular 
business, in volume and in the devotion of his customers.  MOTM has 
undeniably hit the big-time.  

This, in a roundabout way, leads me to a next point.  Are there 
others out there, like me, who don't really have the free time to 
solder up kits?  Or who would really prefer not to?  And who would 
likely purchase more modules if they were available assembled without 
the long lead times?

So I pose these questions:
- How much would it cost (presumably in terms of additional personnel 
at MOTM headquarters) to create the appropriate inventory of 
assembled modules to virtually eliminate the backlogs?  What does 
this translate into, per assembled module?

- Are there enterprising folks out there who would be interested in 
turning a small profit by assembling modules for those of us too busy 
to solder for ourselves anymore?  (In years past, I did build a lot 
of stuff, but am quite sick of it, to tell the truth).  What would 
they have to charge to make it work?

- How many more modules would be sold?

My comments are based on the assumption that the lead times for 
assembled modules is measured in months.
