    I was waiting for it actually.
    The "lite" is a design we never produced but may see the light some time.
    It has no adjustment and the motor is not removable.
    So many designs and new ideas that we don't know which one to put under production.

    We are having lots of fun with the Halo and are remaking them as we are nearly sold out. Once we are done with Halos we will decide which machine to run next.

    I would say a non adjustable halo would be a good seller. Make it with a non removeable motor bolt and I would think you may have a good seller. But....@ $499.00 I would think people would spend the $50.00 extra to get the adjustable halo instead. I would think a price point of $399.00 would be more of a seller for a non adjustable and would make more people bite. But if you could not get it down to that price point it may very well not sell to well.

    This is just my humble opinion ..
    The motor bolt is a great idea if you only ,or use halos most of the time.
    I find the halo easy to use and versatile.. And reliable . It often finds its way in my set up. So I only need one good one .. And will buy a whole machine if I want another one..
    I enjoy using all of my machines ,and halo is one of them. That's why a non removable motor makes sense to me.
    But if not , a non adjustable will make a good set with the halo for me.

    I think you should do the Vortek-as the next complete new body for the motor bolt system there is no need to make a light version with a fixed frame/motor .But first simply make a new non adjustable slider for the halo body that will hit harder then the original and be much simpler at say 50 to 75 dollers off. I found out that most machines with a give setup tend to be louder, more vibrations, more upkeep and more parts that wear out overtime.Some people dont want that. You have made a very nice body and motorbolt and this would be a simple addition for it that could also be sold by it shelf and would not be to hard to make or recoup funds. A lot of people like a rock hard setup and will put a soft grom on to get a bit of slight damping which I find runs different then a locked down give machine.
    To many companies are always making a new machine and ditching last years model(including sells of parts). The thing that impressed me with FKI was you make improvements on your machines(and stock parts) over the years but don't ditch sound designs just to make a fast buck of the customer. Look at a few other companies that do that (you know who)every year they come out with a new machine or two and say its the best and then ditch it just for the sake of boosting new sales.

    I think this is what slick is saying, if not I thought about this while reading his post. Why don't you figure out a way to make non adjustable internals that you can put in existing machines? That way you can sell the Halo w/ either option or w/ both & you can sell the new no give internals to people who already have the existing Halo. Then everybody is happy, & you only have to create new internals. I know I made that sound much easier than it really is.
