    Post Arrepachi - Fuji - COUNTDOWN II - rare (aren't they all...)

    Chaps,

    This one doesn't turn up very often, but features a very neat playfield device (2 actually) and is highly sought after in Japan.

    Not the cleanest example, which is probably why it's not over-the-odds already...

    No pic of the back though. Kinda risky on that part.

    Seems like a cool machine though.

    100 machines and counting...

    An arrangeball with ball tray and electric shooter to boot!! As Stuey might say: "That is a Rad machine!!"

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    Ahh, but it's not an Arrangeball. It's an Arepachi - and that's the difference.

    One is manual shooter era - the other from the post 80's electronic period.

    From the board graphics, I'm guessing this one was slightly later 80's, probably around '87.

    The big difference is an arrangeball plays on coins or tokens and is a very short game. Sixteen balls in most and you win or lose.

    About $350 USD before shipping. Definitely more than I was looking to pay. Nice looking machine though.
