    Default Ball lifter on Ebay...

    I just noticed a ball lifter on Ebay with a "Buy-it-now" price tag of $289.95. Pachinko Ball Lifter Parlor Machine Japanese Slot - eBay (item 400045153311 end time May-22-09 18:47:57 PDT). Some here have indicated an interest in buying one, but they are pricey.

    It's exactly like the one I got on my jaunt to KY a couple of weeks ago...as folks here noted, the ball lifter itself was more than double worth the trip...total investment in the trip was about $120 including gas. Pretty sweet deal. I wasn't sure that I was going to keep mine...thought I might flip it and recover my investment...then I saw it in action! If and when I really need the money, I might sell it, but for now, I'm going to hang on to it...

    I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?

    Sure, sure, rub it in! Wave it in front of our faces!

    You know, I'd give you $75 CASH for it right now to cover your gas and such on your trip. We'd have to negotiate the shipping cost though.

    Someone here said that they aren't making them anymore? Why not?

    I am impressed with the way they claim to be prepping them. It is hard work to get them clean, especially if they are rusty.

    The good news is that you can easily feed 4 machines with one of these babys.

    I can never go back to playing Pachinko without them

    you can feed 4 machines with one of these??? how? by pumping the balls into a main hopper that goes to all 4 machines? do tell! the idea of this thing feeding 4 machines sounds like a game room necessity.

    i have a sneaking suspicion, growing every day, that my pachi life will not be complete until i have a ball lifter. i certainly need one for my modern hanemono type - that thing goes through balls like an 8-year old goes through halloween candy.

    Ball drop boxes for your pachis (compirate maybe has some) + feed into an Extend the Ball Lifter Hopper (big tupperware container), and build a trough for top machine hoppers, to feed all four, as you have already surmised... and there you are.

    A little invention goes a long way

    I think Dr. C had a great setup once
