    Last one of these that went up for sale went for big bucks... I wonder how the broken ashtray will affect the value on this one? Seeing as how it’s no longer enabling “Clean smorking” as advertised.

    Looks like it’s already been bid up to 50,000 yen, broken ashtray and everything! Maybe this one could pull six figures?

    don't like this one nearly as much as the rock-paper-scissors pink one that recently sold for less.

    I’d imagine if you get balls in all 5 time tunnels, lighting all 5 lights it might activate some sort of built in time travel functionality specific to this model? Perhaps opening up a localized wormhole to another time/space/dimension??

    By the way that is crazy talk that the pepto pink “rock paper scissors” one is better than this beauty!

    Awww you're nuts, that pink rock/paper/scissors arrangeball was one of the coolest I've seen!
    If someone on here bought it, I'd be interested in buying it off you in the future.

    I had a cool paper, rock, scissors arrange ball awhile back but it was made by Taiyo. Really fun machine. I have to agree with lotsoballs, the art on the paper, rock, scissors mentioned above was really bad. Total lack of care given from the “art dept”.
    it reminds me of another arrangeball by Satomi I believe where the art and theme is just a very basic drawing of two people talking. I’ll see if I can find it.

    ^Now THAT is a nice Rock Paper Scissors arrangeball! I like the more colorful backgrounds that have more going on like that vs. the plain white background and simple artwork/design. 🥱

    But I’d still have to give the nod to the space themed if someone was going to give me just one!

    speaking of space themed machines, both taiyo and satomi had some great arrangeballs with that theme. one of which was one i imported that had flying robots on it and as far as i know, was the only one here in the us. i had that one completely refurbished with a pic microcontroller. there's a couple more that i've never seen here and have never seen for sale on yja either. i don't play my arrangeball machines anymore and they all just sit in a closet but i'd still definitely bid on a couple of those rare ones. well, they're all rare but the ones i'm referring to are really rare.

    I bid on the last Time tunnel a few months back but bidding got too rich for my blood! (I know it sold for over $800) I tapped out around $500 mark which is what I paid for a mint condition Fuji Shoji President 5 arepachi that never saw parlor use. But I guess you’ve gotta pay to play! (arrangeball that is)

    Let me know if you ever consider selling these closet arrangeballs; I’ve got around 40 machines from 1957-2018, 3 arepachis and 0 arrangeballs! I believe I NEED an arrangeball to properly round out the collection!

    Sure, send me some pics! I’d rather get a working one; since parts are hard to come by. That’s part of the gamble of these online auctions; you don’t know if you’re spending big money on something that might not work right. Then again it’s fun to get a cheaper fixer upper working again; Powerflash is the most complicated vintage I’ve dealt with cleaning up and getting working; but I’ve read these are way more complicated electronic wise.

    I’m kinda particular about theme though.
