Satomi Miracle "Buffalo" Arrangeball Project
This is the 2nd machine of this model I've owned. The first was in very nice shape and I gave it to a good buddy of mine. I picked this one up a couple years back for cheap since it didn't work. Its a great playing machine with simple rules and a fun feature. A ball in the top pocket lights the number 7 and causes the bull's horns to slowly open and close for a few seconds in addition to his eyes glowing red. This encourages the player to shoot balls in an attempt to get a ball in the horns. If this happens, a coin is paid out.
When I got this machine it powered up but that was about it. I finally got it working by having a few of the IC chips replaced and some other circuit board components. So now I've just about completed the tear down. The machine is pretty dirty and has a badly discolored cel as can be seen by the newly uncovered white cel borders. A few nails were either hammered in or removed to make the machine loose. Fortunately and unusually, the dark green plastics retained their original color. Now the complete restoration can begin with a new cel, nails, etc. my usual routine. Below are some pics of all the parts and the pain in the ass spiral nails that hold the cel backboard to the frame.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1347643762.870913.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1347643775.628482.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1347643791.636679.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1347643805.791752.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1347643819.107386.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1347643834.257672.jpg
