Vintage pachinko pin size

[Hbridgman]

Could someone tell me the exact size of the brass pins on a vintage pachinko machine, I'm restoring a couple of them and would like to buy new ones

Someone will chime in with the correct size but it's very unlikely you'll find new,spiral shank brass pachinko nails/pins outside of Japan. Many of us over the years have tried to source them and the only place I've seen new ones for sale is from Japan's version of eBay (YJA) or thru pachinko parts suppliers based there. I bought a few pounds of new ones for my restorations several years ago from a supply house in Japan.

If this ebook is downloaded, is there an easy way to translate it? For $3...it is worth a gander just for the illustrations, if any. The added bonus, is to run it all though Google translate, and laugh at the translation!
