Shooting the ball back to the hopper

[Youngjedi]

Hi All,

I had an idea yesturday on the way home from work. I've seen posts about ball lifters and cyclic mods, and I was wondering if anyone has attempted the following idea...

Install a second shooter motor in the pachinko. the played balls would be delivered to the second shooter (which is hooked up to the main shooter and fires at the same time) and shot up through a clear tube back up to the hopper. Is there enouph energy to shoot the ball straight up? also, a 'Y' divertor would have to be installed in the tube so that if a ball doesn't make it all the way up, it would be returned to the bottom for another chance.

This idea would mean that for every ball shot through the play field, another would be returned to the hopper.

I would love to try this out if anyone out there has a spare shooter assembly collecting dust.
