    Default WTB: Modern Arepachi Pachinko Machine & older Jankyu's

    I had the pleasure of playing on a Taiyo Elec CR Arepachi Apollo 1 (CRアレパチ アポロ1号) machine this weekend, and now I'd love to own one. Anyone happen to have a fully working Apollo 1 or other modern Arepachi machine they would consider parting with for sale? I know it's a long shot, but I'm hopeful. Thanks in advance.

    *edit*

    I'm also looking for these two Jankyu's (or other older ones)


    Hand-made sparrowball evangelism kaiji (手打ち雀球伝道録カイジ)
    Dream Djembe Gas (ドリームジャンベガス)

    And the original two I am still looking for (the first one below is the top machine I'm looking for)

    CR Arepachi Rapid Fire (CRアレパチ連発おはな)
    Dawn of the Fantasy (also called pachique next)

    Probably as much of a long shot, but I'd also love to find a CR Arepachi Rapid Fire (CRアレパチ連発おはな)

    For what it’s worth, the Apollo 1 or Penguin is more common; (I’ve seen 2 Apollo 1s first hand; one was in a large collection and was the owner’s favorite machine he would not sell, but sold me his Penguin instead) The other one was the flood damaged one Compirate gave me free of charge; I’ve since got it working again. 😀 I’ve never seen anyone on this forum post about their arepachi rapid fire...so probably limited to collectors in Japan at this point 14 years later, I could be wrong though! Maybe someone imported one... 🤔 I just don’t understand how arepachis aren’t made anymore!? The gameplay is much better to me than just hold and shoot for digipachi! Good luck on your search! If I ever tire of mine, I’ll post here for sure; but it’s a real gem of a pachinko that’s currently one of if not my #1 favorite out of 26 other pachinkos/cells I’ve acquired so that says a lot!

    Thanks for the response. If you decide to part with the Apollo please keep me in mind. Yea, I know these are hard to get, but I'm hoping my willingness to pay (overpay) might help bring someone out to sell one. For example, my starting offer for the Rapid Fire is $1000

    These are the four machines I'm most looking for

    CR Arepachi Rapid Fire (CRアレパチ連発おはな). Might also go by the English name CR Arepachi Renpatsu Ohana

    Taiyo Elec CR Arepachi Apollo 1 (CRアレパチ アポロ1号)

    CR Vicky Chance REV

    I also have a Vicky chance cell; can’t sell the frame though. I may be willing to sell because I’ve got a 9 other cells for that fame... haha. Just so you know, it’s NOT an arepachi; it doesn’t shoot 16 balls per round like the Penguin or Apollo 1, nor does it payout for getting 4 or more balls in a row at the bottom... it’s just for looks. But it does look very cool! Gameplay a is a little more challenging than a “regular” digipachi but not as fun as a real arepachi.

    Thanks lotso for the offer. I don't have a frame though so it wouldn't help much; and it is the lowest on my priority list of those since as you pointed out it sadly is not an arepachi so I'd rather not dedicate space to the cell while I wait to find a frame. I greatly appreciate the offer though. Let me know if you ever decide to part with your Apollo. I'll make it financially worth while to you. Thanks!

    To anyone, I'm also open to buying vintage arrangeballs.

    And now its on its way to me! Thank you so much for posting that link for me. I'd missed that one. I opted to just ship the cell as I've seen a few other cells in that frame for sale domestically before so hoping I find another one soon.

    Now just looking for these

    CR Arepachi Rapid Fire (CRアレパチ連発おはな). Might also go by the English name CR Arepachi Renpatsu Ohana

    Taiyo Elec CR Arepachi Apollo 1 (CRアレパチ アポロ1号)

    Thanks to the awesome help of the group here, I am now the happy owner of an Apollo 1 (thank you to the seller from here!) and Penguin. The Apollo is as much fun as I remember. I haven't had a chance to play the Penguin yet. I bought it without the frame and was fortunate enough to get a Giant Seven with frame (again, thank you to the seller from here!) that I will switch it into, but I want to see the Giant Seven's 777 fever mode first before I switch it in.

    I'm also looking for these two Jankyu's (or other older ones)

    Hand-made sparrowball evangelism kaiji (手打ち雀球伝道録カイジ)
    Dream Djembe Gas (ドリームジャンベガス)

    And the original two I am still looking for (the first one below is the top machine I'm looking for)

    CR Arepachi Rapid Fire (CRアレパチ連発おはな)
    Dawn of the Fantasy (also called pachique next)

    Is there a way to update my top post with the machines I'm looking for instead of making a new thread?

    There’s a dragon themed Jankyu for sale on yahoo auctions now. Untested though since they can’t open it. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/108290346

    I think you really need to understand the rules of mahjong to play those style machines
