Cool!Make sure you have enough room in your apartment for one of these machines.Japanese apartments are quite small if memory serves me.Send me a PM and I'll send you the details about the company. I don't want to post that info publically.The guy I am dealing with speaks perfect English. but keep in mind they are a recycler for Pachinko machines.They likely won't have arcade machines in stock.We might visit next year if we are able to.How are you able to stay in Japan? That's usually not very easy to do over there in you aren't Japanese.Ya, right now the plan is to return the US in August for my last year at University and then after graduation I plan on living in Japan. I'll most likely get a job with a Japanese company to sponsor my Visa until I can get a permanent residency and then just make a living in Japan.I'll send you a PM in a little bit. Sorry for the slow reply x.xI've been quite busy lately.

I got the Open Invitation instrumental from your channel - thanks for putting those up, by the way! :D (I found the rest on a cached page from mp3skull dot com, which I assumed were ripped from some youtube channel somewhere). Since you have the laserdisc for Karaoke Music Parade, would you be able to provide the missing instrumentals for Remember My Love, Suki~Kirai, Hoshizora Cycling and Yume wa Love Me More, on youtube?i had it all from nicovideo.jp (but most of them are bad quality). If i have time to record from LD to PC, then i could do this.Thanks also for sharing the Pachinko Songs, i have also all songs from Urusei Yatsura Pachinko 4 ~ Forever Love on my Promo DVD in uncompressed format and in more versions (there always in 2).

Does anyone know how to find the comics on this site http://www.niji.jp/home/hey-gen/ if so can u help me by walking me through it with words? (^_^) it will help me a lot..
Bummer about the Ranma machine having such poor reviews. It looks cool. Oh, well. So, if the shipping is $300 for just a cell, is it more like over $500 for the whole machine? Yikes.If I can get a pachinko machine or cell, I'll only have room for one, so it shall be a UY pachinko machine or cell. I'd be looking for a UY4 Forever Love machine or cell, if I can swing it in terms of space (in the case of the machine) and cost (in the case of either). I'll definitely get in touch with you for the contact details of the sellers that import, when/if I get closer to buying! :D Thanks!
I hve several people I buy from depending on price. The UY4 I am buying is costing me $500 for a complete machine, Cell and Frame, but that doesn't include domestic shipping.Since I am buying 3-4 machines anyway, I'm driving down to pick them up.The other guy Frank might be a better bet, hard to say because of the shipping.Also keep in mind these only come with 500 balls. That is enough to play the machine.... barely.if you hit a Fever which happens a lot woth some machines you will be crying for more balls. Some people convert these to a cyclic which is ok but you will never be able to sell it because converting it back is almost impossible. But the good thing is 500 balls is more than enough.A cyclic takes your winning and losing balls and puts them in the same tray. It might sound good but you lose the feel of real Pachinko.Modern pachinkos need a lot of balls. If you just get the cell with a mod to play it to see the videos you won't need any balls or anything but as I said before no Pachinko player will buy it. We buy the machines to play pachinko not just watch the videos. Cells can be sold if they can just be put in a frame, but no frame makes it tougher to sell with some companies and that's an Okumura Cell & frame.it's not like the older Lumina frames where you could put 20 different cells in the one frame.Shipping is expensive if you use Yahoo Japan. If you use Comatsu they might bring over just a cell for you.They'd have to mod the cell to play and they'd have to still put in volume controls and a US transformer.On a regular machine this is no big deal, they do this. I don't know with just a cell.If you don't have volume controls you can expect that it will be at ear bleeding levels like in the parlors.These machines are not all that big and weigh about 80 lbs. 34" high x 23" wide x 12" deep approximately.Here is a pic of my UY4 Cell outside of the machine.
Thanks for the additional info, tips, and measurements and the picture of the cell outside of the machine. Hm, I think if I'm going to invest in UY4 I'd want the complete machine so I could play, since it will definitely fit in the place I had in mind, and esp. if the cell is over a hundred dollars when shipping is factored in (plus it would be nice to have the option to resell, although I doubt I ever would). I was thinking it would still be cool to have the cell as a kind of interactive art piece, but it would be better to have the whole machine so I could play the game. That would definitely be more fun. I do like pachinko (at least I've enjoyed the video game pachinko...I'd probably enjoy a real machine even more). I figure I can always order pachinko balls from Frank or Blue Hotaru, if I need more than 500 balls, so I'm not too worried about that.Price will be the only thing that will keep me from getting a UY4 machine for Christmas, this year. I'll have to look into the budget and see. I'll probably know by May if there will be money in the budget available for possible UY4 purchase.
