Hard balls
« on: November 30, 2011, 06:52:15 PM »
Looking for some 25mm ( 1") hard plastic balls for the 1936 Stoner machine... it is meant to take a pinball, but they are too heavy for the sprung steel rebound springs and snaps them off... someone has replaced with some hard resin balls, but there are only 3 of them and i need 6.

25mm wooden balls are too light and dont push the contact switches down... pinballs too heavy.
Funny how the simplest things are the hardest to find!!!

Anyone be able to help?

No problems, as work in the engineering field and constantly searching for stuff like this, just need to know the right search words. Hope it helps.
