    Smile Building a ball lift

    I recently got the pachinko bug renewed by buying my third vintage machine. I always had planned on building a ball lift so now I've started making progress. I started scrounging for parts around my shop and have amazed myself.

    This is the handful I sorted out of my recent acquisition after a couple hours in the corncob. Good for demonstration, but not in the machine

    Starting a new thread implies that there will be measurable progress, but we will see.

    Good Idea! I'll try to find some. Corncob is what I had and puts a nice shine on things, but yeah, doesn't clean all that well. I have a variety of media for my tumbler, but I think it's all too aggressive for balls.

    Certainly a possibility. Right now, my interest level for the project is high and the "more important stuff" level is low, so there will be at least some progress.
