I am a new member and I have been reading alot of the posts. Thankyou all for the great reading material. Had a question. I purchased my first machine, Indiana, and it came with 500 balls. Tonight, I hit a fever for the first time and spent most of the time reloading the machine. Anyone have a preference to the ideal number of balls per machine? I would rather enjoy playing than keep filling the machine all the time. Also, I am in Washington, anyone know of a good place to get pachinko balls without having to pay double what they are worth in shipping? I appreciate all the help.
