hey, yeah, I actually talked to both Rex Battenberg and Mark Blaszczyk ... To sum up though, yes, as you say it was a fake name to throw people off the trail for that news report, since people were so secretive about what they were making back in those days.
According to Brandon, the Chainsaws and Toasters slot machine is not related, which is quite bizarre.
