    Yep, its an arepachi. Can't help with why Fuji put 'arrange ball' on these machines...

    I guess it's the style of play, not so much it has to be coin operated. Says from 1987, so could be an attempt of 'revival' in the game.

    waiting for Kiai to answer if he can bid on it for me. Unfortunately not possible to bid myself on it using an other proxy service because of the size.

    I've seen this Fuji model a couple of time on YJA in the past few months.

    Fuji put "Arrange Ball" or "Arrange something" on many other cells, but the others I know with that don't have the bingo type thing, only the bottom row of number.

    I wonder if the "arrange balls" thing is not arrange balls in the bottom row of numbers, remember that balls put there make a row of some kind too..

    Thanks for posting that Candyflip. Indeed a cool machine and I hope you get it Tilion. I'm not a huge fan of the electric shot, non coin-op ones so I won't be bidding. Nevertheless, that machine would be a highlight in anyone's collection.
    I too have seem the "arrange ball" term on several other non coin-op machines by several manufacturers.

    Got reply from Kiai, money sent, waiting for end of auction to see if I'm outbid.

    The vintage with thumb flicking ball launcher unfortunately give me blister..

    I probably don't play correctly. Only have one vintage, and a second one (powerflash) in reconstruction.

    I like the vintage mechanical cell with electric motorized knob for shooting.. hehehe best of both world for me, but don't have any of these ones.

    Went for 70,000 Yen. Impressive but cheaper than I thought. Tilion, were you the lucky winner?

    Nope over $700 is too high for me. don't know who got it.

    I've gone to an other pachi.. but don't know if i'm the lucky one because Kiai didn't confirmed yet if he bought it for me or if it's someone else who bought it..

    Damn. Sorry about that. Hopefully it was someone here and they'll be able to share it with us. Plus shipping's gonna be very high if it's coming here and the weight exceeds 30 kg which means FedEx. Don't know about slow boat limits?? I don't know for sure but it seems that the moderns are heavier than older machines.

    You're right. we have a limit of 30kg by boat for Canada, but last one I bought using Kiai services, the machine (Chrome Seven) was over the 30kg. 31.8kg or 31.9kg. Kiai had to detach some board to ship them in an other box, so the machine itself was 29.8kg.

    At first I thought a parlor hostess was coming with the machine, but didn't found it in the bottom of the package upon reception.. So the machine is really nearly 32kg.
