    Default Ball Return

    I finished my ball return so now I can install the Pachinko into my Bingo machine head.

    looks good interesting way of getting the balls to line up in a row straigh away rather than going to a storage tray first

    That was my first version, I had a switch that would be actuated by the balls running over it. But the balls didn't have enough weight to actuate the switch. So I took the switch out and put 2 copper wires in parallel in the path and when the balls run over it the circuit is closed and the motor runs.

    That's pretty awesome bud, do you have it set in a cyclic loop so all balls drain and return or does it still 'payout' to the active tray as well?
