Yes it is very possible! The largest cost in the production of the "frozen
Newt" will be the injection molds. Once Ferdi has the injection molds
fabricated he should be able to request production in any "flavor". Silver
color can be accomplished by adding aluminum dust, and dyes can be added to
the clear casts to produce berry, graphite, or even the characteristic
"Newton Green". The only issue is getting the $$ up front to initiate the
process. Good Luck Ferdi!

-----Original Message----- ...Would it be possible for someone to make some new casings for them in Silver ? I guess it would be possible to take moldings of the existing cases. I have some dead Newtons if anyone is interested in experimenting here. I have a 100 units that would need the treatment. I don't care about the doors, as many of the hinges are broken anyway.

Any ideas ?

Mike
