30 Pai to Standard Token

[TikiTim]

I just purchased a 2003 AbiliT/Takasago pachislo titled "Gurukun"
It has the same cabinet as Death Valley.
Upon recieving it I was a bit dissapointed to find a bag of 30 Pai tokens packed in.
So now I have 29 pachis that take standard tokens (of which I have 10,000-12,000 readily on hand)...
and 1 that only accepts the larger (50 cent size) 30 Pai tokens (of which I only have 250 & hear their hard to come by)

Anyway seeing as how it's the same style as my Death Valley.
And seeing as how my Death Valley accepts standard tokens.
I was hoping a quick fix would be to swap out the hopper & coin mech from a similar (preferable Death Valley) scrapped machine.
I contacted Jon at Stealth & he thinks he may have the parts, but I need to email pix of both machines to be sure they'll work.

Would any of you Pachi-Gurus happen to know if this is the proper path to travel in order to convert to a standard token size...
or are my attempts to be riddled with anguish?

I don't have alot of time ATM, so I'll post pix of the parts in question sometime this weekend.

A big
THANKS
in advance for any that can help.
