    I have approximately 500 pachinko balls here. They would probably clean up nicely if run if run through a tumbler. Paypal me enough to cover a flat rate box and there yours. PM if interested.

    Looks like great ammo for a sling shot.

    I bought myself a box of used balls at a garage sale a few days ago. $5 for about 200. At least they were sorta shiny. Most will go in the test ball jar.

    100 machines and counting...

    That's crazy how the bag looked when you got them. Looks like they cleaned up really well.

    I was thinking of getting a tumbler myself but couldn't really justify it just for these.

    Would be interesting to know if the rust returns after a while.

    These came out of someone's garage in humid Florida. They has signs of rust when I got them but after a couple of months in our laundry room they were much worse.

    I thought they were done for. Thanks for bringing them back to life. I hope they serve you well.
