A lot of the cost in manufacturing is to do with setting up Procurement, Quality ,invetory management (SAP etc) Test Engineering , packing etc , which Roland would have in place.
The through hole components on the original 303 would be replaced by surface mount , which roland produce in their 1000's - a Fantom or V-synth still have many discrete components.
I imagine the major cost would be in the amount of RnD needed to create custom ASICs for the Oscillator and filter , but i'm sure this would be offset by the positive publicity a remake of the 303 would bring.
I don't think the Monotron and Montribe have done Korg any harm ...........even if they make a small loss.
