    Checked my balls , the pachinko ones in case anyone is confused , and the new ones are not as fancy as the old ones from the 70s , The old ones have a lot more on them some say COSMOS and some have double lines going around with symbols where some of the new ones have nothing or very litttle

    I had quite a few of the COSMOS in my last shipment.
    There were also a few that said "Disney".
    Some you couldn't make out at all... slingshot fodder!

    Gee, and here I thought the engraving on the balls that I have just said "made in Japan".

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    I looked at my balls or should say thru and they look like all the same markings, but I did get the majorty from Republic.
    I was play around with a couple of balls and a customers came in two of them being of oriantle decent. I showed them the balls and they thought they read to them "Good Life" and "Happy Life".

    Than I popped the BIG question "Can You Translat ?" both said they were not good enought to read all, being born here, but they have an relative who has came here 4 years ago from Japan and is still quite fluent.

    I asked If there was a way for us to get together for me to hire her for translating. They would talk to her.

    Now I wait, that is the worse part.
