Another cabinet design

Is this stable enough to sit on a table?

In order for this to sit on a table I would recommend bringing the base out abit. Extend the lost ball tray towards you and that should give you some stability with the unit latched closed. When you open it then you will need to either mount or have someone hold the unit to prevent tipping.

I used this design for my machines.. and did exactly what I am talking about.

Does anyone have the .pdf that Ken posted for his plans? I need to build a few more for recent machines and I can't find my copy. The original link is dead.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi - i can't believe I found it, but i cant' seem to attach. when I hit manage attachments it SEEMS to let me upload, but then nothing happens. any suggestions?

Really love this cabinet build. I just need to find a way to get it built, as being in a wheelchair and power tools don't really mix. Any talented people on here willing to help me out? I'll pay for time, materials, and shipping to New Mexico.

I just installed my CR Nadesico 2 into one of Ken's Cabinets.
I need to have a few more built, as I have 3 that need homes.

I'm thinking about building one of these for my machine. Does anyone happen to have a photo of the hopper gate installed? I'm having trouble picturing it in my head.

I built the cabinet, based on the posted design. But I made a few modifications. I didn't want a painted cabinet. I wanted to show off some nice wood. In this case, I found a piece of Edinam, which was the right size. The original plans call for screws on the outside. I moved them to pocket screws on the inside. I also increased the width of the boards at the top and bottom to cover the cross pieces. I used plywood for the rear, bottom, and top structural pieces. Which held everything stay square, since the Edinam had a pretty bad twist in it. But everything came together nice and straight. I also changed the 1/8" plywood to 1/8" hardboard, which is stuff, but can be bent by hand. For the down pipe, I just found a part in the plumbing repair section of the big box store. I simply lined the rim of the down pipe with epoxy, and held it in place with weight while the glue set up. It forms a bowl and dumps the balls right down the pipe. I built a small ramp to direct the balls from the rear of my machine into the bottom of the cabinet. All of the lower sections where the balls hit and bounce were lined with rubber shelf liner to keep it quiet.

How stable is this design?

How stable is this design?

Its pretty stable as it sits, unless you open and swing the entire machine out on the piano hinge, then its gonna tip over.
As I said previously I extended the base out abit and I have them sitting on a stand. This works for me.

[Silverstreak02]

How far is a bit?

[takethecastle57]

on my pachinko with only 2 each 2X4 feet I use two pieces of 2X4 screwed together so I can swing the whole front works for a cell change-out but with that cabinet design you would need a taller "stationary jack" for the cell change .
