Dear surround extremists
On another thread "Quadwreck" raised the topic of CD4 demodulators. I semi jokingly mentioned we would do it for US$100,000, even though I was joking the price was right in terms of a development and supply.
So far we have 4 takers - making the per unit cost US$25,000 each (a bargain), I suspect this might be a little too high for most members of this forum.
I have no commercial interest in any promotion of this dead format but I do admit it would be nice to complete the loop and do it anyway. Lou Dorren (RIP) attempted to get this going before he became ill...see:

Lets do a poll of how many QQ members would buy one of these, if we get 200 takers world wide suddenly the price would be $500 each- a more realistic figure.
My best guess is we will get 20 takers, making the price $5000 each- not a proposition!
If by some miracle we get 200 takers we will do the development (on 30% deposit) and if someone can find out Lou Dorren's next of kin we will send a 10% royalty to his family. We would call it the Involve - Dorren CD4. We would also update the process and take some bugs out of it.
So I will tally up the numbers and post the figure and effective price. Feel free to post here or PM me.
