Doug, that's a very interesting insight into the process! I'm amazed that it's almost all by hand. I suppose that machine looping the duct tape and steel wire and even the nylon cord hank would take a great deal more demand to justify the cost of replacing labor with machines.
Wow... just really impressive. And if you figure that you can buy this kit and your light for $40 (saving $7 in total) and it's still giving ETS some money, that's really rather sweet.
I have one of these kits, and I know assembling the same components costs quite a bit more individually, so kudos and thanks for the slideshow.

Well, I'm no master in english language ..... I would have written "principal" rather than "principle" ... or is this an americanism ? .. and Rosa Barajas, the principle model and expert assembler ... OTOH, I am satisfied with half dozen of PSKs I have .... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

About the cost of the PSP : I guess anyone on this forum who has tried to assemble such a kit (should be everyone .. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ), knows for certain that the PSP is not expensive ; just getting all the components is more expensive ... I know, I did try...
So, add manpower, etc... and the retail price (27$ IIRC) wont look expensive at all.

This is really cool! You should contact the Made in America show (The Discover Channel???) and see if they'll do a segment on the PSP kits. It would be good advertizing!
One thought - I'm not the slowest reader, but I did have problems reading slides with longer text before it moved on to the next slide. A slightly longer time between slides would be appreciated. If there is any way to allow only the long-text slides to go longer that would be best.
