Cell Quest

[monkeyboy]

After having strict instructions from her in doors "NO MORE PACHINKO MACHINES" the only logical thing to do to feed my addiction is to start feverishly hunting down cells for the Lumina frame.

So far so good a package should arrive later today from BigBear and I've enlisted the help of Kiai the man in Japan who's waiting on a winning auction to arrive at his office.

After looking in the research center I came across a cell that just has to be mine.

I present Demon God!

If anyone has this machine/cell for sale please PM me. In the mean time I'll be searching YJA.

Newbie here. I have done a lot of poking around the site and see a lot of mentions of Arby selling cells. How does he sell them? On the auction site here or does he have a separate site for his pachinko sales?

I have had a 93 Sankyo machine for years and just recently won an auction for a Dai Yamato 2. It looks like the lumina is a good choice for cell swapping. I'm also curious about buying cells from japan through a broker...but I still need to read up a little more on that.

Any info is appreciated, Thanks

I don't think Arby is selling any more since the big flood washed all his Pachi's away.

The Lumina frame does have some great games. My self and other members uses the services of Kiai to help with bidding on YJA (you'll find his contact info on other posts). You can pick up cells for around $50 but then the shipping costs are high. Your looking at $150 by EMS (air) or half that by sea. Plus you have the shipping fees from the seller to Kiai then his fees and packing fee.

I'm in the process of getting a couple of cells this way. I'll be posting a thread about the actual cost when it is finalized.

Thanks for the info and keep us posted on the final prices and what you picked up. It looks like you would see cells on ebay or the regular pachinko sites...but I have only saw one for pre-order. Buying through Kiai just seems like a lot of trouble...but I might end up and do it eventually.

there were a couple of parts machine on ebay last year that sold dirt cheap.

and i think everyone here that bought one got them all working.
