token cleaning

[RKnarr01]

nice tokens, where did you get them and how much and can you get a closer pic of a single token if possible

[slotter]

I love these tokens. I think it was purely luck of the draw getting them, though. There were about 30 other "normal" all silver used coins mixed in the order. These are REALLY nice tokens, imo. Don't know if one could get them again. I bought them from www.pachislo.com. Of course, they are used. :wink:

used, but look very neat

[slotter]

The close up pic really highlights every single mark on the tokens. A new coin would likely show lots of scratches, too. But, as said, they ARE used. But in actual view sitting here on the desk, few of the tiny scratches are visible and they are very classy.

If I could get more of these, I would. Need to contact the vender and find if these can be special ordered.

I just did Toonces method of using the vibratory tumbler and Walnut media and holy crap I should have taken some before and after shots!

They are shiny! He suggested 8 hours. I did 6 and was very pleased.

And token cleaning is MUCH quieter than Pachinko Balls.

most places use a unit scale they weigh a few and calculate the avgr
problem is some brass,steel aluminum,dirty etc if the sample is not large enough.....100? then your off.i ordered 5,000 and was off 450
ye im cheep and counted them

I would LOVE to get some more of these bi-metal (mixed metal) tokens. Arby was just SUPER kind enough to get me some, but I'd like to get more. Especially am looking for the ones show with the copper heart in the center. If anyone knows where these can be found would sure like to know. :lol:

When I buy just tokens, I always count them. When they come with a machine I don't bother to count them. I don't think it's a question of being cheap as much as it is making sure you didn't get screwed.

Cheap is when you receive 1000 tokens from a seller because they screwed something up and are making up for it and counting those! :wink:

[arbycoffee]

I send out 1,000 with machines and just to cover my asz, I thro in an extra 100 to cover anything. I use an old bank counter counter/sorter, but since I don't take the time to look at each one for any burrs or bad scraches, I put in a extra 100 to cover. Nobody yet has emailed to complained I sent to many. http://www.users.qwest.net/~arbycoff.../chairfall.gif

I used the dishwasher, and they seem to be fine... I need to find the mesh bag that my wife washes fine stuff in ... and throw in a few thousand tokens.....


think she'll notice?

[Tony Junior]

Mike, you can pick up those mesh bags at any Wal-Mart. I got one there (Don't remember which department.) and it works great.

Then I got a tumbler from Arby and it is even better.

I always thought this would be cool...

Could be used for tokens, and other stuff. Probably overkill for most people though...

[scooby_doo_m2002]

jibs, you wouldn't believe how many peeps here have those.... not over kill at all.....

[websherpa]

THis is the best price I've seen, I think someone else here recommended them (I think): http://mrgameroom3.homestead.com/kENS3.HTML

He sells them for cleaning pinball parts. US$69

Here, I found the perfect pachinko ball cleaner for the Pachitalk member with the most balls? (Or was it the cleanest balls?): http://giantfinishing.com/main/searc...0Bowl%20Styles

Man, you'd really have to have balls to buy one of those!

[Tony Junior]

I'm not sure, but I think Arby has one of those in his basement.

How many were you able to clean at one time?

[Sid]

so much for cleaning each one individually with palmolive and a scotchbrite..

Hey, we were cleaning the worst ones individually with Noxon and a Scotchbrite! (Well, b/f was; I supervised. Didn't wanna get my nails all messed up.)
