Where to get specialized tools?

[Gadgetguy]

Hello all,

I have found that arbycoffee was the best source for most things related to Pachi machines.
However I have also discovered, that for the time being he is unable to offer any products for sale.

So: would there be any alternative sources, for example for a Sankyo pin adjustment tool?

THanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Cheers,

Miklos

Needle nose pliers! most tools you already have can be used, no use spending pachi money on things you don't need/ already have!

although needle nose pliers will do the trick.
a nail bending kit, is a nice addition especially with the pin ball gauges etc.

there are several ways to bend nails from socket wrenches to pliers to using your fingers.

but there is always the saying the proper tool for the job.

if you are looking for Japanese tools, Pachinkos, or Pachi products, etc,
then it would make sense to use the services of Key-eye (kia) to source, bid, and deliver items straight from Japan

I know a lot of members here have been extremely happy to do business this way

here's the website...

Dick Fine Tools in Germany makes a pachinko hammer: Pachinko Hammer | DICK

It's pricey, but extremely high quality craftsmanship. I like mine.

I found this thread to be very useful! homemade nail adjustment tools

Comatsu Trading has said they might be carrying the adjustment tools as well.

I don't see it as necessary...but it would be WAY COOL to have a boxed set of authentic pachinko tools!

I need to do something one of theses days. The Cutie Honey I have has them extra wide its TOO easy...

I have a list of nail patterns and angles for various cels. Including pitch, angle and nail gap sizes

That could make an interesting "sticky".

They aren't in a usable format right now

$14 for a nail bender and nail guage. Nice set, if he's still selling them.

Thank you for posting this. I just ordered a set and received a confirmation. Looking forward to receiving it.

IT says for vintage but I thought a nail bender was a nail bender...

[Steve Cebu]

I'm going to wait and see what Comatsu comes up with for a nail bending kit and how much they will charge.
I like the kit DrunkenClam posted.

I would love to get the kit Clam posted, but I have never purchased on YJA and wouldn't know where to start.
