Pachinko Box
Dear friends, I’m happy to announce that I have in
stock again the Pachinko Box
History of the "Pachinko Box"
My first inspiration came about 6 years ago while I was looking at a Mouse Trap.
I wanted to use the mechanism from a Mouse Trap to shoot an object to a certain
point. It proved too difficult to control the object using that mechanism, but
while on a trip to Japan, I found a far more practical solution. I found my
inspiration in a "Pachinko Hall" see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko# ... chinko.jpg
For more information, please Google "Pachinko".
The second inspiration for part of the Pachinko Box came from a Museum in China.
I went to see an exhibition with Tom, my producer, and saw an object in the
building that begged for more attention, so I've used the same construction
in the Pachinko Box.
Challenge: Free the "Second" Coin
Instructions: Please don't use any force! Just turn things over, slide things
back and forth carefully, change positions etc. No "external tools" are required.
Always play over a clean table (there's a good reason!). No Banging, No
Rotational Moves, and No Force Required at all! I mean it this time!
