I am sure this has been shown on other parts of the site, but I would like to make my own ball lifter for my pachinko and wanted to see where I can find decent English language instructions. I really have no idea even where to start in terms of finding motors, gears, the spiral lifter, or what exact other parts I would need, but would love to get information on how I could try to make my own lifter. I am really very limited in my experience with power tools and I have absolutely no idea how to weld, but want to try to make one of these and not just gaze in awe over what has already been made. I have a limited budget ($60 or less) and am not interested in buying a ball lifter that is a few hundred dollars (more than I have ever paid for my 2 pachinkos combined - $60 total!). Any advice or especially visual printed instructions in English would be something I would greatly appreciate!

Thanks everyone!
