The was a boy from Horsham
Who took off his balls to wash 'em
His mother said "jack"
If you don't put them back
I'll grab the buggers and squash em'

Got some of those black peal balls with a spider web on them for my black spider,looks good just cant see them as well.

Rest of them i get of Mark and had no problems, $2.50 each i think.Not sure but it worth putting the old one in the tumbler or just get some new ones.Never tried it but i thought once there stuff that it throw them out !@#



I've put some worn ones in and they came out like new.  Once they become pitted, in the bin they go.

thanks Guys

I can confirm  WE DONT STOCK the cheap ball bearings ones ...

we use the same balls that we sell in all our pinballs , we just give them a quick polish to make that mirror finish
before we put them in our pins

I am getting low and only have a few hundred left but do have a few thousand on the way

also have gold ones coming too

I check my balls once a year - if pitted - throw them out - If they look good - Then chuck them in the tumbler for 4 hours !

Gun Shops or Ebay.

I got one http://lymanproducts.com/lyman/tumblers/1200-pro-tumbler.php

Worth every penny if you're restoring machines.

do a search on "Graf" tumbers - Thats what I have - it is a re-badged "Berry" tumbler. I bought mine on eBay.

They are readily available in Gun shops - also look for Lyman Tumblers - they are great as well.

Absolutely correct. That's why you are top dog in this outfit.

Next question.

What has hundreds of balls and roots rabbits?


Final Limerick:

There was a young man from Devises
Who had balls of two different sizes
One ball was small
It was no ball at all . . . .
The other won several prizes
