Re: What is an acceptable amount of time to wait for a press.

When the Blue Max was in production parts were made by the thousands and cost was low. Now that the press is out of production parts are run on a as needed basis and as such are much more expensive. Some must be batched to run any amount and those parts are usually available but some may take weeks to get the material and then manufacturer a one off.
