Ball Dispensers

[garfield]

I've been watching a few video's on Youtube and apart from the credit card system, you see coin machines where you insert a coin and get a few balls.

Are these machines also sold as goodies for us pachinko addicts or elsewhere obtainable ?

In light of the hobby character of the forum, I can imagine "we" don't want that kind of machines to be promoted here. But then I don't mind if the coin system is obsolete or the coin mechanisme is disabled and there is a button to simulate "the paying" of balls. It is hust the fun of having something authentic that they use / used in a real parlor.

Check out Daverob's dongle and card reader. They work great! Just plug in the back of the machine than one button gives 10+ credits and another gives out the balls. He sells them on the auction.

you can find them on Yahoo Japan auctions, they take Japanese yen coins or bills.

Arby gets some every once a awhile.

I am getting there. My "modern" pachinkos are modified with a push button that gives 25 balls when you push it, so I am going to wait for the card modification after I got something for my vintage pachinko. Seems I will have to wait on Arby for one of those
