Thanks BT.

Does Chipco sell to the home market?

ChipCo is no longer in business. Palm gaming bought them out.

Ahh...got it.

Is the product the same? Same feel, weight, etc.?

Palm bought the equipment from Chipco when they went out of business. They ended up reselling the equipment, and to my knowledge, they no longer make "Chipco-like" chips. Based on the samples I have, the closest chips to Chipcos are currently made by GOCC.

Bummer. Thanks for the info.

I can't say for sure if it is the same. From what I remember they used up the stock of what they got from ChipCo. What they make now is their own line.

Or they may not even make ceramic chips anymore.

What is the cost per chip for the GOCCs?

Couldn't find it on their site.

@Mr Tree ?

IIRC there's a pretty nice quantity discount.

I got mine for .65 per for the Protechs but that was on a summer sale. It can vary based on timing and order size I think. Still they should be less than a dollar a piece.

I called them a few months ago when I helping my friend ding a set. I don't have my notes any more but I think it was .78/chip for 1,000 chips.

More if you need edge alignment, less if you don't. Roughly ten cent difference.

And GOCC's Protech blank is essentially the same chip as the old Chipco Protech blank. GOCC is mostly old Chipco employees.

PGI uses Sun-Fly blanks. Don't think they have any old Chipco stuff left.

Current pricing:

.89c per chip

.63c per chip with a 2000 chip minimum purchase

.89c per chip

Good to know...thanks. It's reasonable, but at $1.20 Cdn per chip + shipping/taxes, it's out of reach up here. Argh. Hopefully our economy will bounce back someday.

Was the protech blank what was used for casino chipcos? If not, any idea how it compares?

 

[BGinGA]

Yes.

I compared my GOCC samples against my Chipcos a few years ago...ahhh, here it is in this thread (link should be to the post)
