    Looks like you've found them to me!

    I think member New In Town still has some ball liffters but shipping from the US to Oz could be expensive. Your best bet would be to look on Yahoo Japan Auctions.

    Not sure on the ball counter. Ball lifters come and go...rarely cheap. I got mine from a member (maybe joined long enough to sell) It was rough!Ball lifter slot guts 013.jpg It still cost $125! It cleaned up nice, and works.Done 010.jpg It didn't come with a square lift tube though. Everyone states that they are easy to find...I'm still looking! New in town has 4 for sale as of Jan 12. Check out the thread, "orange ball lifters and Lumina frame bulbs! ! ! PM him for sale details.

    I could get a ball lifter for about $580 from the US...But its a bit expensive I wanna see if I have better options before I commit to that one.

    Ball counter, I'm yet to find one. Monkeyboy - that one on the Rakuten website is sold out...

    ball counters are very heavy (like as much as two or more pachinko machines, at least the horizontal units), shipping will be difficult.

    Your cheaper option is to use a bidding service on Yahoo Japan and get it shipped by boat. Prices range from ¥2000 to ¥13000. I did see one ending today at ¥2100. I search for 玉 in the pachinko/pachislo catergory as some times they get listed in the others catergory. Sorry to N.I.T but it does seem unenviromental to fly a lifter from Japan to the US then back to Australia

    Hi,

    NIT (new in town) here.

    I plugged " From: Atlantic beach, Florida, 32233, United States To: Brisbane city, 4000, Australia " into my Fed X and USPS account with $240.00 insurance and came up with these Numbers. :

    FedEx International Priority - $175.00 for shipping

    FedEx International Economy - $166.00 for shipping

    USPS Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG)** - $118.00, 1 to 3 Business Days

    USPS Express Mail® International - $69.00, 3 to 5 Business Days

    If you would like a more accurate cost from the U.S. Please PM me your full address I can plug it in and get a True Shipping cost. Yes I do still have 4 available.

    The added insurance only raised the cost a few Dollars. Link to the Thread pachiwall Posted on :

    http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/vend...ame-bulbs.html

    I'm more than sure that you would have to add in import Duty Tax. I have never shipped to OZ before.

    All the local hardware stores and big box stores seem to buy the same stuff here. Exactly the same stuff at every store! It is either too small for a ball to fit in, or WAY too big. I thought of epoxying 2 pieces of angle aluminum together and filing off the excess...but I have too many other projects to do. Yes I do have the spring, I just set this project to the side out of frustration!

    The way I extended the tube on one of my lifters was with a length of 1/2" copper "L" tubing using a copper coupling to connect it to the aluminum tube. Using a pair of pliers, you can square up one side of the coupling for a snug fit on the square aluminum tube.

    stoped by the local true value

    they stock

    3' sections for 10 bucks
    4' section for 13 bucks
    and
    6' sections for 17 bucks...

    plus tax and shipping to ya...

    there not exactly the same stuff as the factory ones but it worked great on mine..
