Satomi Arepachi Video

[emmadog]

Ok, I put my first ever Youtube video on showing my Satomi Miracle machine. It has 3 parts and the third part is uploading now. So if you're really bored have a look. YouTube - Arepachi (Arrange Ball) Pachinko Pt. 1
Part 2 YouTube - Arepachi (Arrange Ball) Pachinko Pt. 2

[emmadog]

And Part 3 YouTube - Arepachi (Arrange Ball) Pt. 3
I apologize for the poor video quality, I'll have to check the settings on my camera next time!! Actually the videos weren't that bad when I viewed them on my computer so maybe they are degraded during upload.
Just another note, this machine wil pay out a total of 15 tokens but to do that you have to get a ball in every pocket which seems pretty impossible.

great information...

I find it interesting the way your machine is numbered..

on my machines the nuber pockets accross the bottom are in order and the numbers on the cell are in a random order... jsut another of the things that make the Arepachi so unsual

[emmadog]

Yep it is interesting to see the different designs between manufacturers. On my Taiyo Electron the numbers across the bottom are in order. I feel I need a couple dozen more of these cool machines though to see all the differences As has been said before it seems that far fewer of these were shipped here than other pachinkos. I'd like to speak to an owner or someone who worked at one of the importers back in the day to get some specifics on numbers and types. Probably a fair number are residing in Japanese land fills.

I would like to find an Arepachi to purchase. Does any one know of a machine that may be available ?
Thanks,

Frank

I have only been a member for a short time and have got very lucky. But that being said Areapachi's are harder to find than powerflash's. You have to be at the right place, at the right time, and then you still might not get lucky.

[Lt Teddy]

To emmadog for taking the time and showing his arepachi for the benefit of us all.

[MrGneiss]

Great videos!!

[takethecastle57]

Bravo Brava . Very fine work on the videos and clean up of the "Sister" Arepachi to mine .

[emmadog]

Thanks for the compliments fellas. Next week sometime I will do another video of my Taiyo and ideally it will be better quality. I was thinking it would be interesting if we had videos from all of the different Arepachis out there and we could put them in the Arepachi forum.

I need to get mine home. The last trip to California I picked up two cabinents and two machines that I had bought at Mopars. He was still tinkering with the arepachi so I left it. Hope to have it come home by Christmas. Will have to borrow a video camera to do mine with but that can probably be accomplished. Their are so few out their that I learn something every video I watch. I for one would really appreciate anyone that put out more information on Arepachi's.

Great job om the machine and the video.

Good to see other peoples machines and how they work.

[DavidC]

Yes I have one original as new owned by me for the pass 30++yrs if you are interested.

[Lt Teddy]

Well emmadog my machine makes it home today and I am up early waiting on it. I got an excellent buy on mine but am always looking for more.

That being said you should all see the one on Craigs list. I was told I was not the right customer but I would be paid a finders fee of $1500 dollars if I could find one for him.

The asking price is over $24 THOUSAND dollars. You can see the pictures on the Arepachi site as he has plastered them all over it. And if their are not enough pictures their I have more.

[emmadog]

Well you are up early. I'm in Austria right now about to hit the slopes and it's 10:30 am over here. Glad to hear you are getting your machine!! I put mine side be side on a table and play them frequently. The Satomi is definitely the "looser" of the two. Anyway I saw the one for sale and emailed the buyer before I realized the one on craigslist going for that price is the same one for sale in here!! Beautiful machine but that price is a "little" unrealistic in my opinion. Sorry LT but I don't think you'll be getting that finder's fee anytime soon but good luck in any case. Let us know how your machine works out for you.
