UK Source for Pachinko Balls
I'm not sure if anyone else here has their favourite supplier...
Since I was in a hurry and couldn't find anywhere cheaper, nor faster, I bought 200 balls from 'bbearings' on the auction site.
The box came a couple days later, well packaged, and the side said manufacture in japan.
Currently the auction comes under the title of:
11.1mm (7/16") CHROME STEEL BALL BEARINGS, QUANTITY 50
£3 Buy-It-Now + £2 postage.
Like I said, I bought 200 (so 4 packs), paid the £20 total and requested recorded delivery (since £8 seemed a bit steep). As asked the items came through as recorded. I'm not sure but they might be a tiny bit heavier, but in the machine they're indistinguishable from the 130 balls I had to start.
You can email the seller for larger quantities... I did and got these quotes:
"thank you for your message
1000 would be £ 60.00 inc p & p, recorded would be £4.50 extra
650 would be £46.00 inc p & p, recorded would be £4.50 extra"
Like I said, I don't know if you guys have a cheaper UK source, but these japanese bb's are perfect for me...
