Quote: Forgive my ignorance. But if reproductions have been made once already, why would anyone have to "tool up" to make another run??
EXACTLY!
Quote: There is no RETOOLING cost, Fram has had the tooling and the tooling has been paid for. The last production run by Fram was only five or six years ago for the last batch IIRC.
My point was not the cost of making tooling, but you still have to set the assembly line to manufacture. And that quite likely means removing another product from assembly while making this one.
