Well I picked up one of my old favorites a while back, a Dinoscore game (http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/machines/redemption_machines/Dinoscore_476.html (http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/machines/redemption_machines/Dinoscore_476.html)) It works just fine, all the switches are good it just needs a little polishing and such. However it uses tokens that are not the same as what I have for my other machines (they are much smaller) I haven't gotten a pair of calipers yet so I dont know the exact size but when I went to pick some up from Happ just to try out I found they have upped their minimum order to 1000 tokens, same goes for several other places I found. Now since thats complete BS and Im not spending hundreds of bucks for the few tokens I really need to find some elsewhere. Anyone found a place where you can order a more reasonable number of tokens from and for non-gouged prices?

I got samples from an ebay vendor (http://stores.ebay.com/Pachinko-Pagoda) selling used Bellagio tokens (so not 'true' arcade style).
The samples worked OK for me, although I've not yet ordered.
Might be larger than you are looking for though? 25mm/.984 inch.
$25 + s/h for 500 tokens.

The price is more important than quantity honestly. and 25$ for 500 tokens is a wicked good deal imo. Sadly I think those are too big for my needs but I really like the way they look, its a shame really.
I think the size I need is either the .83 or .88, the slot is pretty dang small and the manual doesn't say the size so I need to measure it exactly.
