Hi all

Trying to figure out if I can find about 56 pinballs for an art/game project my daughter came up with. I am willing to pay shipping but probably only for larger numbers- This is supposed to be a cheap project for a 7 yr old so its not going to work out to ship ones and two... so heres asking.

Do you have a significant number of relatively shiny pinballs- she wants them for her project because they are shiny (of course)-

If your curious- we want to make a mancala game with pinballs. We will build a board if we get enough balls and the board will be the art part of the project. Anyhow

PM if your Box of old pinballs is heavy and mostly not rusty- we will polish them up and repurpose.

Thanks

Sorry- I am in Salt Lake City, UT. USA

Happy to pay shipping from the US- not willing to pay shipping internationally

Thanks to any and all who looked for old pinballs! Was thinking its probably better my daughter came up with this project- when i was young my project would have involved a sling shot and....

Looking like there will be no problem finding a bunch of old pinballs

I will post back here if I end up falling short of the number we need from the people who all ready PM. Else- no need for further response.

Thanks for the support!

Much appreciated

Were almost there- up to about 50+ balls and awaiting the shipment when we hit 60-

Indeed I will post back when we get it going. Now that this is real and pinballs will be here soon I am trying to figure out how big this board is going to need to be- each bowl or whatever they are called- will need to hold up to ~10 pinballs... it will be a Mancala board of unusual size for sure!

I am not sure I know- RE which globetrotter- don't know Dan but not ringing a bell and if he is a pinhead- I did not get his! Was in a home for years- decent shape- dirty etc but pretty nice game.

Thanks all- got what I needed and were pretty much done with the project. Need to finish sand our game and stain and finish the wood but were playing pinball mancala- its actually pretty fun.

Thanks!

Balls were tumbled and at this point we had 53 shiny-

Pic of board is rough chainsaw shape with no sanding or finish work. Its a lot better now- was hand routed so holes are more or less identical but it has character...

Will grab a more recent pic to show it after sanding and some shaping and then final when we get around to staining it. Its being played now.
