    Default Taiyo Challenge Ball

    Ad says it works but then mentions that it doesn't light up. Also shows pic of a tray included with the sale with way too many balls needed for an arrangeball machine. That tells me the owner likely doesn't know much about these machines. So who knows what the seller means by "works".

    I tried to upload the pic via tapatalk but it kept saying invalid file type or some such.
    If the machine doesn't light up then I'm assuming that no lights at all come on to include the matrix lights or else that would have been mentioned in the ad. So it could be simple like a fuse, interior on/off switch, some Satomis have an interior door switch which kills power if the front is open-this one could be faulty, or it's something more serious like a power supply or circuit board issue.

    It is called a tic tac toe machine. You can see one on my site. The light issue is certainly a quandry that can either be an expensive fix or an easy one. This is high priced considering I bought my at auction on ebay for almost the same price and it worked. Certainly a different playing machine than my other arrangeballs.

    It is a Fuji New Crown machine.

    If by some chance a member picks this up I would like to get copy of the placard on the front. This is the first one I have seen with the original in it. Don
