Who sells clean Pachinko Balls? Got rusty from Slotusa

[petebPachi]

Hi all... I recently picked up a Pink Panther pachinko from slotusa.com and got this rusty bag of pachinko balls. Most of them were ok, but about 50 had some or total rust all over them, so the entire plastic bag of 500 balls had a coating of brown rust all over it (the bag appeared brown) when I got the thing, so i had to pick out all of the bad balls and clean the rest before using...

I need to get some more, but don't want to buy another 500 and have 10% of them be crap again...anyone else go through a similar situation or know who watches this a bit more closely? Or is this the norm?

The good ones look nice because they have some sort of insignia on them..but if that's going to scratch up the machine surface or something, I'd rather not risk it and get smooth balls with no engravings...

I bought from Shopda on E-bay. Of the six thousand I bought, I've gotton only two balls with a spot of rust.

the engraving is on most pachinko balls used it Japan palours.

it will not do any damage to your machine

I have purchased 14,000 balls from them and 99.95% have been great.
and when the postal service destroyed a box and lost most of the contents they had replacements in the mail the next day

Contact Slotusa and let them know...any good seller should make it right.

I've bought from shopda and goldenstatetraders. I'd recommend either.

You can clean them by hand washing them several times in warm dishwater ,I had the same problem like you , they will shine again and if they still are rusty you can buy a tumbler which I did and let them tumble in there for 2 days and you won`t recognize your pachinko balls anymore , they were like brand new

there are also some Threads / Posts here regarding cleaning of the 'Hallowed Sphericals'

I do believe Walnut Shells were one of the options...

Try doing a 'Search' using the Search Function above and you will find many ways,
I'm sure...

Hello Hanabi,
Fine Wallnut Shells is "the" cleaning product to put together in the thumbler with the rusty Pachinko balls , after 2 days Thumbeling they look brand new

I recently started a quest to get some additional spheres for a vintage pachinko machine. In the process I also blew my game room budget for the next few months by adding a Star Wars to the order. Pachinko Palace on eBay has both new (non-engraved) and used (with engraving) for what seems to be a reasonable price (if you don't count the Star Wars machine). I bought 500 to go with the 500 that came with the SW machine and none of them show any rust. They shipped very quickly and replied to my emails very quickly. When the order shipped I had a tracking number. Seems to be a good vender.

I ordered 1000 balls from a guy in Canada. I have been waiting for three weeks I hope that they will still come.

Problem with the ball vendors is that they do not ship to Europe !

Heh, that must have been an interesting day at the Post Office... I can just imagine the site of 1000+ balls getting loose in there...

One of my Ebay buyers waited 3 weeks for a package I mailed priority mail to the netherlands to finally arrive.

I think customs is the biggest hold up

priority flat rate with a 20 pound limit to other countries from the U.S. is $37.00

[garfield]

Well I paid $110 just on posting for the 1000 balls. I thought I was buying Golden balls to begin with, postal fees really suck bigtime

[Chrisdice]

Are they being shipped from another galaxy?
Internation flat rate is only like $30 I think.

[birdbrain]

2000 silver balls to Europa is $140.00 USd( through the auction here of course!)

[garfield]

yeah well, what can I say. That order went in before I happended to stumble upon this nice community ... of utter addicts Next time i'm sure I'll give a shout one here and see if there are other ways to ship balls, that goes for other stuff too.
