Riko sells his stuff on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=3...ortdigital
Long-term availability of Pit Pro will depend on how many Pit Lane Games are in Riko's shed.
Generally, I agree that the enjoyment of the APB is dependent on all the bells and whistles. Our APB set-up has been good for ten years of club racing and there's enough in the existing hardware and software to keep our racing formats fresh for another ten. Between us, we have enough spare kit to cover most eventualities. If there is more third-party development - eg RCS Next Gen - that would be a major bonus.
Having said that, we have started using ARC Pro with the Magic app for public events. For total newbies, it has a more gentle learning curve. The lack of pit entry/exit sensor isn't a deal-breaker and the level of racing fun doesn't seem any less than the APB set-up. There's no RCS64 complexity, although the Magic app is a small step in that direction.
Six years after ARC Pro was launched, there's very little to show in terms of third-party development. The community that enthusiastically worked on the original 6-Car pb to give us the APB either aren't around anymore or haven't embraced ARC Pro. To be honest, there isn't a lot for that community to get stuck into - almost all the development potential is on the software side. A good introduction (although nearly two years old) is here: https://www.slotforum.com/threads/scalex...er.206468/
