How would a person with the ability/equipment to do this work at home get matched up with a company that wants to buy such things?

This seems like the sort of work that was spun off from some kind of existing business relationship.

Yes, that's the hard part. Often times harder than the mfg work. I believe he took over the contract from an acquaintance.

Yeah this seems so strange a thing to do. Maybe they're personalized/ruggedized in some nice way?
