Nail adjuster toolkit

[markl54]

I saw a picture of a professional pachinko nail adjuster kit, that I think Arbycoffee gave someone as a Christmas gift, (sorry, Holiday gift) I PM'd Arbycoffe and he said he got it from Ebay Japan, I just wondered if anyone knew of anybody who sells them here in USA, I tried the Ebay Japan and tried to get it to translate, I don't know if its because I use a Mac, but I gave up...so anyone know anything about getting one.....thanks for any input........Mark Arbycoffee is alot smarter than me so I need help from the forum....

Can one of you yahoo.jp guru's help out here? That tool kit is awesome and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to really tweak their pachinko.

They come up every once in a while on YJA. There's only one up right now that I could find but it's only the hammer and a ball gauge.

I've already downloaded the whole site! Our man in Japan has called them and they do sell to individuals (not 'trade only'). I'm working up an order already!

Think you can get someone to order a Pachislo?

[compirate]

Pachislo's are too big (overall size) to ship. The size and weight of a pachinko is about the max.

Guess I'll have to wait for "Strike Zone" to arrive in the US


compirate: Sent you a PM.

I think that one is still too new, at most I'm seeing pamphlets/promo items on YJA.
Your best bet would be to ask Gaku when he might see one of these. It will be the cheaper way to go also,.

[DaStooge]

Thanks, I'll get with Gaku and see what he says. Did you ever make it to Gaku's?or was that next week?

I was just in Dallas on Monday. That ice was a rough one, wasn't it? I saw more than a few cars and trucks in ditches.

I'm waiting for Gaku's next shipment to arrive (supposed to be middle of March). Got a new machine coming!

[DaStooge]

I think the drivers were worse than the ice I drove to Gaku's on Saturday morning when it first hit and there were wrecks everywhere. People were driving 70-75mph

Hello, new to the forum and glad to find this place. Regarding the nail adjusting kit, can you describe the tools that are in it? Why do you need a hammer? I am sure comparable tools are available in the states if you have a picture. Also, I have a cool pachinko cabinet pic I would love to share, but I can't figure out how to upload a pic off of my computer. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

[DaStooge]

I believe a hammer (for tapping nails in) a nail bender, and a ball guage is what is included in the kit. http://www.worldlingo.com/wl/service...%2F3tenset.htm

I'm sure you could use other tools available here in the US, but some people prefer authenticity.

I could use one of those myself. The Japan yahoo page is next to impossable to read even after the translater.

The hammer is to lightly tap the nails in the direction you want. There are nail gap guages (look like feeler guages but you use the width) to slip between the nails to check width. Also, a couple of balls on a rod. These come in different sizes (11mm, 11.01,11.02,11.03...) and are used by passing the ball through the nails to quickly check that they are wide enough. A tool shaped like a screw driver but the end is has a groove in it to, I guess, bend nails alot. My set also came with set of wide, flat pliers, for nail staightening.

There are tools here that can be used, but if you have the ability, why not get the real deal? I'm thinking of having 'Parlor Air' compressed into 80lb bottles and sent here so I can have the full parlor experience. Yeah, I could just smoke alot of cigarettes, but that many would cost more than shipping bottles all the way from Japan!

Thats why I always use the 'Pics only' version

That website had awesome stuff! Someone needs to get those little flags that sit in the tray of balls (04.pdf for those of you who downlaoded the site).
