    Default Any UK source of Pachinko balls

    Bought my first machine this week which arrived smashed to bit, have now bought another one to try repair the first with. I only have about 400 balls so ideally looking to get some more, does anyone in the UK have my for sale or know where I could get some? Ideally not looking to import them unless anyone knows a reasonable way of doing so?

    Thanks as always,
    James

    I have a few 1000s, and was looking to import another 4000 soon. But was hoping to get my ball circulation system in first. So I have somewhere to put them.
    I'm sure I can sell some on till I'm ready.

    Ive only got about 400, haven't got my machine running yet but from what I've read that's no where near enough... I'm hoping to build a lifter at some point too so guessing I'd need another 1000ish?

    You should be able to test with 400 balls. Once you got it running, Let me know.

    I'm looking to get a couple of thousand for my machines if I can, or at least some towards that. Is it reasonable to think I might get them in the UK or is importing the best way? I've seen eBay listings of £60 for 500 balls, which I consider expensive.
