Solution for picking up errant tokens
Not exactly a pachislo 'mod', but I'm a little old, a little fat and bending over to pick up a few or a bunch of tokens off the floor sux! Unlike pachinko balls which can be picked up with a magnet, I've not seen a parlor tool for picking up tokens, at least I think I haven't.
Just got a 2 gallon wet/dry vac from Sears for $29.99 that does the job beautifully! And it doubles as a vacuum!I'm hoping to get a shoulder strap for it to make it more mobile, plus a rigid tube or two so I won't have to bend over much. Plenty of power, emptied a pachislo front tray of tokens in a matter of seconds! Easily picks up singles from the floor. And I figure with the little round brush attachment, it's good for dusting machines. I've seen something like this for parlors, but always figured they were for emptying ashtrays.
I suppose it would work on pachinko balls too
I figure to get the Micro Cleaning Kit also, should be good for getting into tight spots on machines and getting the dust out of computers and crap out of keyboards!
