    Default Wanted: 2009-2012 era Amtex frame

    I’m looking for any pachinko in this exact Amtex frame; (or even just the frame). I sold my New Weather Studio for nice sum; however now my other 2 cells Hoo Mini assistant and Big Shooter are orphaned…

    Willing to pay $400+ and shipping cost

    I tried buying one off yahoo auctions but it got broken before at the From Japan warehouse; now I have to beg for a return from the shipping company…

    It’s trash now

    I have some spares from this frame. Although there are 2 identical front frames for the Heiwa versions the Lupinasu. One that takes a full sized monitor screen and the other that has normally intergrated screens in the cels. Lucky I did a guide to help identify the different versions.

    Good to know! Mine was type B, because it has the weird ball release from near the upper hopper; not like any other machine I have. It originally housed the Hoo Mini Assistant owl themed kenrimono, then I cell swapped it with both Big Shooter and New Weather Studio.

    Do you have an extra type B? If so; I’d gladly pay for international shipping; can’t be any worse/more expensive than FromJapan quotes lately?? I hope…

    I have only one complete of each type with multiple cels for each. But if I see a complete machine at a sensible price. I’ll let you know. I recommend the hanafuda monogatari machine

    There’s a weird horse race one with a 1 yen start; not crazy about the theme; but if the price is right…

    Problem is judging by the pictures; the seller doesn’t know how to pack a pachinko properly… not nearly enough padding/bubble wrap along the top of the frame which is fragile; I don’t want to end up with a 2nd return to the shipping company due to a busted machine and test the “buyer protection plan” any more.

    So Newspapers or local or penny savers for crumbling for padding are not available in Japan ?

    I sent a "Popeye" Pachinko from Monterey, California to Germany and with a moving company double wall box with crumple paper it arrived in perfect condition .


    I think that I did that about a decade ago.
