Interesting Japanese Website -Taiyo's for Sale

Every once in a while I spend a while digging around for a part for my Daichi retro-modern (my fix works, but only about 95%).
I dig so deep, I run into some cool stuff once in a while. And here's a place that specializes in vintage and retro machines.
Particularly interesting is the three styles of Taiyo Challenge Ball they offer. I say "three styles of machine" and not "three machines" because from the order form, it appears that you can order more than one of each. Cool. Anyhoo... Conceivably, Juno could order these and ship - he does say he can handle any web store. It would be pricey, but then I think this may be one case where it might be worth it, seeing they appear to be in restored condition. Probably would end up somewhere in the $1300-$1400 range... less if you opted for surface shipping. The US Flag one seems pretty cool... as does the playing card themed one.

The first two seem like straightforward gameplay with a bonus that lights a few numbers in to help complete rows. I've seen the third one on YJA before and it looks like it plays like the "Owl"machine from this same manufacturer.

Bloody good prices, considering their rarity in their home country too.

NICE FIND!

I would think the whole thing, plus shipping, would be a reasonable proposition for someone who wanted one badly enough.

Not sure they are 'restored' though - this is quite rare. They would be original (nice) condition, in my humble opinion.

But being able to order up to 5 of each??? Loving that!! Someone had some really good foresight.

Yeah. Saw that... Looks like an electric vintage that pays off depending on the number of jackpots/balls sunk... Up to 10. Cool. So like an Arrangeball frame/vintage pachinko cell. Never seen one... But ya probably have... Since you've got more Pachinkos than some of the smaller prefectures in yer garage

I love the poker themed one. Might have to look into total cost on it.

It's 801.00 as of this morning 's exchange rate plus around 400 to ship EMS. Plus the fees Juno or other will charge to facilitate. I'd like to know the rule set on the poker themed one.

Yes but it has an electric shooter.

If I hadn't taken the "promotion" I would be ordering it now. I will have to make sure the new job will pay like I think. I hope there is still one available.
