    Default Epoch ball size?

    Someone asked me if the balls are the same size. Ive seen a few on Ebay but didnt notice if they used the same balls as regular pachinko. Does anyone know? They said it was a 70s Epoch-Playthings brand

    I bought an Epoch pachinko for my grandson a while back.
    The one that I have uses the standard size balls.

    Ive got several toy machines & where you can use regular pachinko balls, I think they are a little too heavy for the toys.
    Your toys are basically all made of a lighter plastic and therefore...

    Well, I was going by what came with the toy.

    So, my grandson's balls should be smaller, or lighter, or both?
    (Oh man... what a loaded question!)

    And seriously then... where to get them?
