Once the tooling matrixes and silkscreens are paid for (no biggie IME)

My guess? $ 3500.00 initially.


Agreed ... but lot's folks don't seem to blink at $3.5k these days for a
cooktop. Current kitchen job has a 48" Capital gas range being installed
that is twice that.

(I was tempted to send them the video last night to see it "The William"
might be of interest in lieu of the Capital ... I just want to play with
it.)


Go for it, Karl!!


LOL ... it was tempting. But, there have been too many changes on this
job already (there is a high dollar "designer" who's whims must be
appeased, despite the impossibility thereof), and the range is purchased.

AAMOF, I'm picking up the vent liner and motor blower on Monday in
preparation for building the vent hood cabinet, which is going to be a
PITA ... I HATE the idea of building a frameless Euro style cabinet
enclosing that kind of baggage, but it's all the rage, donchaknow!

It's always something ...
