Looking for a source for steel balls
I need to get some 1/2" and 5/8" steel balls. They don't have to be
super high quality, but I do want them to be relatively inexpensive. I need to get 50-100 of them. It is for a game that uses them, not exactly home improvement. Well, except for the joy of a game that finally works... |

Looking for a source for steel balls
If you don't get a source here, try on rec crafts
metalworking (also a usenet group). Some very fine people there, who may help out. They would also maybe have some steel balls among them. Hope you have a lot of fun, playing with your 50 to 100 balls. While I'm close to the subject. The old song "do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro" was originally colonial military song. It wasn't ears, it was musket balls. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. wrote in message ... I need to get some 1/2" and 5/8" steel balls.

I did a google search, and I kept getting 50 click throughs and not finding what I needed. Why didn't I think of Amazon? |

Pachinko balls aren't anywhere near that large. No they aren't. I think I sold all my real pachinko balls (with Japanese symbols on them), but I still have a stash of ball bearings the same size. |
