    Default Satomi Miracle Super Missing Cartridge A

    I just picked up a Satomi Arrangeball on ebay and it is missing cartridge A. Does anyone know if there is a chance I can find one of these or make the machine operate without one.Photo Nov 09, 2 39 48 AM.jpgpachinko arrange ball.jpg

    First of all I'm jealous as hell.

    Two, welcome to Pachitalk!

    Third, how the hell did you find this on eBay without the rest of us seeing it!!!

    Welcome. It will not run without the cartridge. Parts are almost nonexistant for arrangeballs. Especially this particular one that is one of the only one of the old arrangeballs that puts their boards in cartridges that I know of. Good luck

    You can see alot of different arrangeballs on the arrangeball site and I have a few on mine. Their are I think about six of yours out their that I know of. Don

    Welcome to Pachitalk. I am surprised I didn't see this one on eBay. Congratulations on your find. I have this same machine and do not know how you would be able to get it to work without the cartridge. I will be happy to provide some photos for you, however I am not sure what good they will do you.

    From its eBay description it was hard to tell if it worked completely-especially if you're not familiar with them. However, it seems unlikely that the seller didn't notice that there was a cartridge missing.The good news is that I have the electrical schematics for this machine. The bad news is that it will be expensive to have someone recreate the board. Probably at least a couple times the amount you paid if you can find someone willing to do it.

    Seems like that could be a solution. I have thought of doing the same thing with my Arrangeball and Computer Pachinko. It would give me the ability to customize game play and payoffs.

    As long as you can work out the inputs and outputs, its possible. Its not like a random number generator like on reels, but set inputs. IE if it gets the right inputs, it knows what the output will be. Like a basic logic diagram. But the schematics would make it a lot easier

    My thoughts exactly. They really are pretty simple machines. Adding a small pc and the writing the software should not be very difficult and would certainly make them easier to keep running properly. Also adding the pc gives you all sorts of options for adding sounds and lights if desired.

    Ask for vince... has good command of English. Has a couple warehouses full of parts. It's a crapshoot that he'd have something this old, but you never know. Take a picture of the machine and where the part should go, and maybe a pic of the right part if you can find it. He also has good other connections.


    ...and... what exactly did you search for to find this on eBay???

    Do a completed listing search on eBay to see the original listing. Pachinkos are also sometimes listed under coin-op/vending machines. Here's the link, don't know if it'll work.

    Yes, sometimes things are listed in the most obscure categories

    this one shows it's listing 'tree' as:



    • Collectibles
    • Banks, Registers & Vending
    • Vending Machines
    • Charm
    Angie ...
    Pachinkos, Pachislos, Coffee, Papercraft Ninja, Pinball

    emmadog, I would love to get a look at your schematics. Maybe those years in electronics class at Vo-Tech will pay off.

    Yeah, True. I thought it would be the same inside like the Satomi arrangeball I already own. That one has no cartridges. Photo Nov 12, 1 16 13 PM2.jpgPhoto Nov 12, 1 15 29 PM2.jpg

    I see your other arrange ball machine has the same funky ashtray like the last one I bought. Other than mine, we haven't see another ashtray like it until yours.
