Hi. I was recently gifted a hokuto no ken pachinko (my first machine) and came across this forum soon after. Some great info on here!

I've made some very crude mods to my machine one of which is a cardboard support/hood that inserts into the top tray and comes out over the top of the machine. This allows me to fill the top tray with about 3 times as many balls as it can normally hold.

So my question! Is this safe? I'm slightly worried I may be overloading the tray and I don't want to snap anything off. Has anyone had experience of trays snapping through overloading?

Thanks in advance for replies!

Cheers
Steve
