    Default Pachinko ball counter

    Hi all

    I started selling a pachinko ball counter "Pachi-counter" on Ebay. There are two versions: one is a complete set ($100+shipping), and the other is a kit ($25+shipping).

    If you would be interested in them, go to Ebay and search "pachinko counter."

    The basic idea is, you install two optical sensors (one at the ball shooter, the other at the dispensing path) so that the counter counts the ball you shoot and win. It also indicates the balance of shot/won as well as the time you play.

    It may be fairly easy to install to old pachinkos, but it can be a little tricky for newer machines.

    If you have any questions, please send your message to:
    gaku@gaktradinginc.com

    Bulk purchase discount is available.

    A happy pachi-life!
    Gaku

    hi gaku.

    I just tried a search and didn't find it.

    what's in the kit?

    is this the same board that is in your packaged pachi counter?

    thanks for info.

    FYI,
    You can use my pachicounter with 24ACV that is the same power pachinko machines use. This means, as long as you have a pachinko, you can use my pachicounter by hooking up with your pachinko's power supply/transformer.

    Thank you very much!

    I ordered the Kit Version, I must say it is very nice. anyone with basic soldering skills should be able to assemble the kit. I have not installed it into my Lumina Frame yet, I have only done the soldering of the wires so I could test it out. I just had to see the counting and subtracting in action. After powering down then turning on the unit again the counter resets back to zero. I wish it could hold a memory with the power off.

    I have one of Pinball Dave's Pachinko Card Emulator Dongles hooked up to an Arcade Coin Slot so when I insert a quarter I get one credit, and when I use that credit the machine dispenses 25 pachinko balls. Now with my new Pachinko Ball Counter every time I use one credit and dispense 25 balls, the Counter will count 25 balls as being won. when actually they are not won balls but just dispensed balls. With both a Card Emulator Dongle and Ball Counter, the Ball Counter will never register a negative balance because the dispensed balls will be counted as winnings.

    Anyway, I am happy with my purchase thank you Gaku for providing a good product at a good price.

    I have one question, do you guys know where I can find a single LED counter that I can hook up to my arcade coin slot so it will count the coins going in. The ultimate would be if I could find a counter that can count in 25 cent increments.
