DIY Pachinko ball counter

Yup. Lots of wires, but that's breadboard work and they are necessary for building an experimental prototype. The finished product would be on a PC board.

I think most people aren't skilled at soldering, so I'd probably sell plans that also include the finished circuit. If it works out maybe I could sell a couple complete units on eBay.

This might also turn out to be some crappy thing nobody would want... Or I just loose interest and move on. But I'm making a good stab at it.

lets not loose interest jsut yet.. depending on the price i would be intersted in buying the Electronic bits from ya.. i would like to make my own hopper and funel system..

Prics is everything for a fun and not totaly necessary contaption.. (for me)

A low cost project is my goal with most parts locally available. For example the metal I used to make the pouring plate is the front to an old Maytag washer we had, cut with a saber saw & snips.

The electronic parts are cheap enough, but the PC board itself would be the most expensive. I'll etch one myself but there's a lot of connections to make. It's too tedious to do more than one or two so I'd need to contract it out. Much of the cost will depend on that.
