    Default Arepachi

    I really fancy an Arepachi/Arrangeball Pachinko...

    Are they really that rare over here in the UK?

    At some point if the other UK members are interested, maybe we can each get one, and have them all shipped together in a container (from the states if not japan) ?

    They do not grow on trees in Japan or here. You have a total of around about fifty that have been accounted for in the US and One that I know of in England. Good Luck. Their is one for sale in Japan and it has five days left and is already 62,000 yen. That is about seven hundred and thirty dollars and that does not include auction fees and shipping. That about doubles the cost and you still do not even know if it will work when it gets over here. Some people have spent alot of money and redone theirs and a couple know how to work on them themselves. That being said that leaves alot of us knowing about the mechanical but the electronics has me and alot of other people baffled. And if you have ever tried to find somebody to work on these old machines you had better have a hairy legs ( somebody with money).
