    Post Ball lifter for in-wall mount

    After I mounted my vintage Mizuho pachinko machine in the wall of my gameroom, ball refills required a walk down the hall to the back side of the game. A few years ago, I found and installed a ball lifter to ease my burden.

    A few photos and details about the in-wall installation and the ball lifter are posted at: Pachinko Ball Lifter | Pinball Clicks

    Nice Job!!

    That's the same ball lifter I have, although I've yet to install it, it has been in storage for a long time awaiting a new extension to the house
    ...

    I really like that Mizuho pachinko, nice bright cell colours and looks to be in fabulous condition

    Hi welcome to pachitlk.
    Thanks for the pic, It's nice to see the ball lifter that i may never own
    At the moment i am using small children to fill the hoppers on my machines,
    They get board quick and cost a small fortune in sweets to run.
    They are owned by my nextdoor neighbour and sometimes have to go to bed half way through a Fever

    Default Originally an in-door mount

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    Back in my bachelor days, I lived in an apartment with a small den off the living room. This pachinko machine was mounted in the door to the den!

    I bought a hollow core door that matched the original door. I cut a hole in the new door large enough for the pachinko machine frame. Then I moved the doorknob and hinges from the old door to the new door. Finally, I screwed on some angle irons to secure the pachinko machine frame in the opening.

    Whenever I needed to replenish the balls, I simply opened the door and reached around.

    I saved the original door in a closet. When I moved out, I restored its knob and hinges, and rehung it in the doorway. The apartment building returned my security deposit.
