Slow day, and I can't eat donuts and play pachinko at the same time, sticky fingers.

Tho I go thru a lot of key boards.

Trying to find stuff for Lew on his machine, No Joy, so far

Would be interesting to have a card reader but it would probably need to have a computer hooked to it to operate (not independant).

Any news about the ball dispenser you won Arby?

[arbycoffee]

sent you a pm

there are some card readers on yahoo japan butthey are useless without all of the parlor equipment.

[compirate]

what's your search string for card readers? I've never seen them.

[RKnarr01]

i dont have a search string but ill put up a link in a few, i was going to order a bunch but then i was told theyre useless without all of the parlor equip.

[Lazarus]

I'm not good at searching for stuff. I put in search words but almost everything is for the us and sometimes the UK. But never Japanese. How do you do searches for the Japanese stuff?

card reader link

I looked at that but I don't think that is a card reader unit. I think it is the brains of a ball counter made by Glory.

Of course, I could be wrong. In the lower picture, the 3 digit settable number (in this case 057), on a ball counter is the interval. I suppose on a ball loan device this is the number of balls per 100 yen. This could also be the brains of a ball loan device.

compirate,
