I been following this for a while. I might consider buying one solely for a collector's item. Does anyone know how good the tone arm and cartridge are. My biggest concern is what happens if it needs servicing and the company is not around anymore?
I'd like to know how the business process works.
 
According the website 580 people have pledged $434,585.
and it says 

This project will be funded on Mon, Nov 21 2016 9:00 AM EST.

So looks like they will be making at least 600 units.
 
Does anyone have real experience with this type of business endeavor ?
