DIY Pachinko ball counter

[SteveFury]

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.
