Satomi Miracle Arrangeball... miraculous.
Well... Not gonna beat around the bush. Got lucky.
Just got the one I bought on eBay (see this thread: http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/ebay...rangeball.html)
Packing was OK... just OK... but no broken glass. Wanted to see pics of the inside, didn't... but risked it anyway.
So... I don't know how rare this is, but look at the video. This video is after resoldering the two wires heading to the rectifier bridge on the main circuit board (missing from the pic below... it was out when I snapped the pic), and before regapping 2 reed switches in the back for the lights you see stuck on. Total of about 30 mins work. So as of right now, its just a cosmetic restoration.
I'm absolutely flabbergasted that there weren't even any light bulbs out. The payout solenoid buzzed the first couple times and didn't work, but by my third play, all was good.
Can anyone here that has one like this shoot me a pic of the #7 pocket? It looks like it fell off and was replaced by a cheap handwritten and faded paper sticker.
So pics...

Oh... and one of the ashtray. I heard someone here has a keen interest in the ashtrays on Satomi's. This one came with a Camel Light® (aka Blue™).
