    Default Nail gauge lot!

    Saw these on eBay! Nail Gauge Pachinko Ball Stick Lot | eBay Maybe some one with some extra money can get these and sell off individually.

    What are these things used for that they're worth $200? It looks like a couple balls on a stick to me

    They are a nail adjustment gauge. One ball is the same size as a pachinko ball, the other slightly bigger. So, like a go/no go gauge. At night, when the parlors are closed, the nail mechanics come in to adjust the nails. So a winning machine yesterday could be a big loser tomorrow! Adjusting the nails is the only way to change the odds. The gauge is passed through the nails to make sure there is enough room for a pachinko ball to pass. Here is a man adjusting the nails at the beginning of this video.パチンコに*史あり 手動操作時代 - YouTube You can make one...homemade nail adjustment tools I have thought about it...but still want a real one!

    That's only $5 a piece... I've sold them for 5 times that, and some have gone on eBay for even more over here.

    You mean the kugushi.

    Also one thing to check on the auction is if they are all the same size and not a set from like 10.8mm to 12.2mm.

    Did someone on PT buy this lot, and did they make it available to the hobbyists for a reasonable profit/price? Tx!
