Re: rolling stone machine
If I was to wager I'd say it is roughly 7-8 grams.
A ball weighs 5 grams (I think) and then you got the plastic part. But then there is the string so I think it would either be the same weight as a ball or just a tad more.
I have a rolling stone but I don't want to pull it off the rack I just put it on (literally just put it on) and disassemble the whole mech.

Re: rolling stone machine
having a hard time finding something that is the right weight and the right shape.. used a pit of solder.. but to get the right weight its to long.. if i fold it in half it seems to hang up in the slide.. back to the drawing board..
if any one has a pic that would be great

Maybe you could find some brass to work with at Rockler or Woodcraft.

Re: rolling stone machine
well i smelted and hammered down a new lead weight to fit the tube.. it weights nearly double the weight of a pachinko ball.. the problem is it take 3 or 4 balls to make it move then once it hits bottom, (with help still) it will not slide back up.. im thinking now the string i have is not slick enough..Originally Posted by pachiwall

Re: rolling stone machine
yoyo string?? or you could try waxing some string!
Re: rolling stone machine
If I think back to my childhood I seem to remember my mother's embroidery thread being fairly sturdy and slick. Maybe stop by a craft store and check it out to see if it may work? You might also look at braided fishing line.
Re: rolling stone machine
Dental floss?
Re: rolling stone machine
Nylon fishing line?
Would you happen to have a pair of Horrible Freight digital calipers? If you can get me the inside width of the channel that it slides in, as accurate as possible (preferably down to .001"), I have something I want to try.

Milling out a small brass block? I've thought about that in the past....

Re: rolling stone machine
Using CarlW's picture, I was going to try to turn one out of brass. I think the cylindrical shape would be less likely to get hung up in the channel. But I need at least one good measurement. Even if it's a good clear shot of a ruler held level and perpendicular to the track.

Re: rolling stone machine
I dug out my Rolling Stone and took out the counter weight really fast.
Weight: 5g
Diameter: 3/16" (4.75mm I think).
Length from string hole: 1 9/64"
Imperial measurements were easier to use then metric as the metric ones were in between increments.
Also the string appears to be Nylon and is about 1/32" diameter.
