    Default Cannabis and pork themed arepachi Newgin Magic Hole

    I know it’s a long shot, 1 in a million chance, but does anyone know of any other arepachi for this 90s Newgin frame? Or better yet have one for sale? It’s called “Magic hole”

    The theme intrigued me as it’s the only cannabis and pork themed pachinko I’ve ever seen… It’s in like new condition; super clean and vibrant colors.

    Also it’s an arepachi which means double the cool points… I bought just the cell off yahoo auctions last year; hoping I could cell swap it into my Newgin Tequila kenrimono which APPEARED to have the same frame. The cell wasn’t expensive so not a total loss; might have to turn it into a wall hanger.

    However, the frame on Tequila has different connectors and doesn’t have the 16 ball sensors to make an arepachi functional.

    So it appears there’s 2 different versions of this frame which externally look the same. I haven’t seen one come up for sale on yahoo auction ever besides this one do it’s fair to say this one is “rare”. I’m thinking it may be the only arepachi from this frame? (Which is going to make it extremely hard to find )

    Anybody else got one of these lying around?

    It partially works in my Tequilla frame but not the arrepachi pockets.

    I guess the pigs like to eat cannabis?? It says “Good to eat!”

    Dynamite Cutie is also in that style frame. I've been searching for that one for over a decade.

    It’s Dynamite Cutie an arepachi too?

    As you can see, the lower 16 ball sensors were either removed from this cell; or they are embedded in the frame itself; not the cell. Which is kinda odd, my other Taiyo arepachis have all the sensors self contained within the cell; so you can cell swap to a digipachi in the same frame need be. But as is the balls just fall out everywhere.

    Also there wasn’t the long white 20 pin connector (I can only assume is for the 16 ball sensors) to connect to the main control board it came with. So I’m not really sure if my cell had parts removed; or there’s just 2 different frames that look exactly the same from the front.

    I figure this is going to be a long term “wait it out” project. If nothing else it’s just funky “modern art”

    Unfortunately Dynamite Cutie is a digi.

    Something about it appeals to me. No idea what though.
    Unfortunately the video also indicates what's wrong with digi pachis. Now.I re looked it up. It's a different frame. Although I could have swoon it was.in the frame with that very angler front tray.


    Judging by the screw holes in the wood. I assume the sensor rack has been removed

    Yeah, I noticed that too… what a shame somebody probably harvested vital parts from it.

    Maybe one day another one will pop up.

    Yeah , I Bought a "Ava Maria" Pachinko machine and thought I got a good deal but the Main Brain I.C. was Gone from it's socket . So great looking machine but that one I.C. missing means the machine is Brain Dead .

    Yeah, we’ve been grifted!

    That’s the biggest downside to buying cells (or anything really) off yahoo auctions. No real recourse if seller shafts you… or if it gets damaged in transport; which happened to me once; a machine arrived busted up at the warehouse; and FromJapan totally hosed me; no refund, I’m just out $150 because somebody didn’t pack it properly for domestic Japan shipping.

    I’ll never deal with FromJapan scammers ever again after that ordeal! Buyee is cheaper and packs better anyhow…

    That’s why it’s always best to go through a trusted vendor like JT Comatz if at all possible. Since they will test any machine for you and pack it properly.
