    Default Working on my machines Arepachi

    Over the last few months I have been working on my collection of Arepachi's. I still have a lot to do to get them all in better shape but I thought I would update where I am at.

    My arepachi I bought from bigbear has a new skirt made by Slothappy and I showed that before but I have enclosed the picture again. While working on this machine the light for the number 14 went out. Quite a deal to replace and get new lights ordered. The backing had heated up and stuck to the board, which is a circuit board and with the help of Mopar we finally got it loose without damaging it. We also went looking for the switch and finally found it to make the machine pay 15 coins. It had been set on five. Makes it about a 125% pay machine.

    Had traded with mopar and have been working on the Jan Ball you will see it has a new skirt which is nice but am still looking for a good pattern for a Jan Ball. Have sent a request to bigdog. I think the skirt came out nice but their is room for improvement. I really like the Jan Ball as it has a unique feature that the other machines do not. If you get the two in the middle on the machine on all four sides the lights all start blinking and it pays ten coins.

    It has been quite a learning curve dealing with the arepachi's. Every one of the machines I have have a different place and a different way of setting the payouts.

    Getting ready for a Pachi Hunt back east. Going to travel from home to Boston and down to Georgia and back. Only going to be able to pickup something great or unusual as their is only so much room in the Van.

    One never knows how much one can haul until you have found something you think you just have to have.

    Be vewy vewy quite I am hunting pachi's I will let you know how I do when I return the end of June.

    C'mon LT, these are NOT used machines. You have a factory in your garage, don't you? These look like new! VERY VERY nice!

    You need to make me an Angels Baseball arepachi when you have time...

    If you think those look good you should check out the others in my albums.

    I actually am still working on fixing up those two. The others are done except for making a skirt for the taiyo. I will post another picture of the Jan Ball as soon as my Contractor Slothappy sends me some new work. If you ever need some work on any of your machines that involve graphics I highly reccommend him.

    My Mechanic Mopar is rehabilitating my Arepachis and does an excellent job also.

    Well I am still working on my arepachi and after looking at the differences between them I decided to redo the Jan Ball. I had taken the approximate style off of the only machine that I had seen with a face plate and I had the master (slothappy) make me a new numbers set. The old ones were too big as far as looks and I wanted the color changed. I really like the new results and thought I would show them.

    Well I had both kinds made for yours and you can do what you want with your Jan Ball. Actually Slothappy made three different kinds for your machine and you can decide which you would like to put on it.

    Now get it in gear and bring my machines up here.
