$1 is just $1, but $2 = nachos

I think for the cost to start being defrayed, I'm looking at having to make like 20+ adapters throught eMachineShop.com. That would probably get the cost down around $200 for the pair.

I just find it unlikely that I'd be able to get 10 people firm on dropping $1000+ to do this swap to justify putting down the money to have a bunch of these adapters made. I'd hate to spend $2000 and get stuck with 18 pairs of spare adapters.

But I'll look into it... maybe I can simplify the design enough to reduce costs or find a machinist in town here that would cut 6 or 8 of them for a few hundred bucks.
