The spacing for standard openings around the ball pocket entrances are usually between 11.4 and 11.7mm.

Unless you're playing one of my pachinko's, then the standard spacing is about 19.78.. :twisted:

Yes on the size, that was as close as I could find, remember it is for home play, a little lose will never hurt.

It will adict more people to Pachinko

I have three left, if anyone wants one, PM me with address & name.

Dear Tulsa,

I measured my other pachinkos and the largest opening between the nails leading to the ball pocket on one game and only one of the four pockets was 13.7mm. All the others were in the 11.4 to 11.83mm range with most near the 11.7mm mark.

I am measuring the inside distance between pins where they enter the playfield, not the distance from the outside of the pin heads. That is the way the Japanese measuring devices work--measuring base distance and then the distance all the way up the pins. They have pin adjusting devices which will push two pins apart at a greater distance near the head than the base.

If you used the same points for measurement, a distance of 19.78mm is well over 3/4ths of an inch and that just doesn't sound right. That would leave a gap of 8.78mm between the opening with a 11mm ball in the gap.

I was exaggerating a point, a big exaggeration! I didn't measure anything.

Dear Tulsa,

I'm sorry that I misunderstood your post.

Dang, I need to lighten up a bit.

Your good humor is very much appreciated.

[arbycoffee]

One way to lighten up is to put a milky way bar in your back pocket, as the day goes along and you sit down, you feel this squishy feeling in your pants, You can't help it but laugh.

You can also do that with a hole in your front pocket and drop tokens out and watch the people picking them up.

I like to drop fake lotto tickets and I smeer the back so it is not readable.

But I have a warped hummor

OH WOW! You're supposed to use a Milky Way bar for that feeling? I've been doing it all wrong! No wonder I get my own private area on public transportation! :lol:

Hey Arby... got my gauge today! Thanks!
I shall put it in my "Pocket Pal", and be the envy of every other geek that sees me!
