To answer Smoggy's question. You have to reverse engineer it to start production.(read: make a drawing, bill of materials, cost analysis...)
Smoggy you know that the Big Mac is made by Mc Donald right? Do you know where the meat is coming from? Same thing here. We know part number of the hole unit but we don't know who did separate components.
