    Default Ball Lifter dilemma. Nead help.

    Hi, what kind of ball return set up do you guys have? I have 3 pachinkos, and a auto ball lifter. I am trying to come up with the best way to set it up to feed all 3 machines. I have them side by side to each other. Trying to come up with an idea for the low ball switch, comming off the ball lifter to trip so it feeds all 3 machines. Do you have any good pics of your set ups?

    if you put the low ball swith in a hopper central to the 3 machines then the rule of thumb is to put the low ball switch on an angle in there the steeper the angle the more balls needed in the hopper to turn the lifter off
    My rice krispies told me to do it

    put all 3 in a case so u can have one tray to fill a 3 machines.. keep said tray verrry verrrrrry flat but not perfictly flat set your lifter to the high side and your good to go.. the balls will track to the lowest machine filling it first then back up to the other machines..keeping the tray large enought to work for 3 machines but no so large u will need thousands of balls... Make sense??

    u are so far ahead of the rest of us that dont even have a lifter

    No lifter here...but I've wondered how to distribute evenly myself...assuming you have individual buckets to fill.
