Here's a thought: How about making the production run a special limited
edition? There is precedent, when TT had the limited edition Vibroplex
keys. Maybe call it the 'Phoenix' series, representing Ten Tec's rise from
the ashes. Perhaps there could be some unique new feature that would
differentiate it from earlier production runs, and that would heighten its
'cache'.
Thoughts?
