    Default Ebay Miracle Arrangeball Picked Up

    Saturday Morning at 2 am Mopar meant me at my motel in Sacramento and we drove to Los Angeles getting their at 8:15 and meeting Jeff to pick up my ebay purchase.
    Jeff was glad to see us and stated that his dad had had the machine for about 25 or 30 years and they did not care for it because it did not pay off much. He stated they had just learned how to open the glass after posting the machine on Ebay. He stated they had been playing it with ten balls.
    When I told him it took sixteen he stated maybe that is why it did not pay too well. We left and went to the auction which was kind of a bust. About ten or fifteen nice pinballs and alot of junk. ( Some peoples junk being someone elses treasure.)
    Mopar had made an appointment and we picked up a machine for him.

    Drove back to the room and started to clean and figure out the machine. It was set on five pay max and so we switched it over to 15. Hand loaded the balls and all of the lights came on and it payed 15 coins. .. It took alot of cleaning and still need to put some upper lights in it but I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
    This machine had the stickers on it and if you look close you can see the 51 wrote on it.
    Cannot wait for Compirate to tell me what the Japenese writing on the top of the machine says.
    Posted alot of pictures for your preview.
    This is the first one I have seen with Japenese writing on the ball return.

    Very clean. I think that one is in the best shape out of the three that members here have. Let us know what the writing says-mine has the same thing. Nice numbered pocket cover thing as well.

    Hmmm in the arepachi translations I have received lately, a point meant a payout of one token. So it sounds like the max payout by law per game was 5 tokens.

    Nice Machine!

    Why is it that these types of machines are limited to the west coast, and no one wants to ship to us folks in the mid-west? I'd love to have one and I would give it a good home
    I used to eat lots of natural foods until I found out most people die of natural causes.

    You go Girl, er... I mean... Teddy!

    Saying this is a nice machine is an understatement. Good freeeeekin' golldarn jeepers, Man! Nice!

    I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough. At least I drove up the price a bit there though, eh?

    Hmmm, I may be giving up on getting one of these. Oh well, that just means I'll have to buy every ugly, garden-variety pachinko stray in the state instead.
    Only you can save me.

    I never noticed those have non-brass nails. Coolness.

    I think at one time their were alot of stores that sold the machines right here on the west coast. I am beginning to wonder if maybe the arrangeball type of machine were brought home by the servicemen stationed in Japan and in particular the navy. That might account for why so many on the west coast. You also have the merchant marine that bring alot of stuff over.

    As far as shipping I would look at Jacks for the seas ALLWIN and note that I have yet to have an Arepachi shipped and doubt that I ever will. If I cannot pick it up I do not want a piece of junk arriving.

    Yes they are brass. Highly polished brass by my mechanic (MOPAR).

    Maybe it is just the wife and me but for some reason they seem to have alot more bounce than my other pachinkos or arepachis.

    Something else cool about your machine and different than mine and TTC's is that the number 7 pocket on yours is still original. The diagram on the instruction shows a drawing of it which clearly is different than a tulip pocket. I don't know but it looks easier to get a ball in with that style than a tulip. Since a token is paid out for this pocket I wonder if parlor owners replaced them with tulips?

    Well I have one with the tulip and two without. The tulip actually gets more because it has three ways to come into the dog on my tulip. The other two just have a slot. The tulip is alot more colorfull as it lights up at the tulip when you hit it. As far as payout goes the one with the tulip pays out by far the best. Been playing them too much lately they are quite the addiction.

    I need to make the payout mechanism quieter like my Taiyo. Just have to figure out how to do it. The one Satomi is loud and the other is louder and litterally chucks the coins out.
