    Default Testing your knowledge of vintage pachinkos balls

    I have pulled all these balls from vintage pachinko machines I have work on over the years.

    So I ask you, which one is the real pachinko ball?

    I can always pick an oddball size out of a pile of balls.

    a metric ruler would have helped
