hmmm back to the drawing bord with the square oil funnel with a wooden box around it as i am bad enough with woodwork anyway i cant "hand craft that from a block of wood" i wish i could afford to have the cabinet imported to uk if they would send it but i doubt they would to the uk
im starting to think there is a pachinko trade umbargo against the uk from the states

i think you have to have a compound sliding mitre saw for it? i tried it on my table saw and it didnt work. i think you need to cut the sides at 45 degrees while using the mitre saw to cut the edges at 45's

You might try to e-mail Byron at Game room cabinets to see if they will send you a funnel

Here is their e-mail bbrice@pmt.org

good luck doc

Perhaps one of the UK Pachinko sellers (JustPachinkos or 777heaven) could become a reseller of the cabinets? Not sure whether there's enough demand to make it worthwhile, but I certainly would be interested in buying one if the price is right.

[drcrippen324]

nic at just pachinkos has a basic cabinet at a good price but there is no ball colection on the bottom or ball feed on the top so you gotta open up the machine it could be a good base for modifying with a funel or somthing ontop and a ball tray holder screwed to the bottom i think they were £35 delivered flat pack stylewith wall fixings

Nik from Just Pachinkos is a great guy - I bought a basic cabinet from him. Now I'm looking for a top ball hopper and lost ball collection solution. Not being very handy, my preference would be to buy something off-the-shelf.

lol dont blame you i good with metal but wood hmmm lets just say dont sit on any chairs i repaired

I have table top kit from Game Room Cabinets that I haven't installed yet and don't plan to for a while. I could send you the funnel as long as I could eventually get it back in useable condition.

[drcrippen324]

thanks for the offer but like i said it would be hopless me trying to copy it out of wood it took 2 attempts to make the square frame got a few ideas now so if i dont get any luck with one from games room or a compleate cab i have an enginiouse idea with a old square deissel funel

[RKnarr01]

dc if i get time either today or tommorow i will see if i can make one easy with just a circular saw if so ill let you know. i think it can be done fairly easy.

[drcrippen324]

would apriciate it i got a friend with a mitered chop saw and he safer with wood than me so if you could post directions for him to folow please

[RKnarr01]

for the next two days i have to study a bunch but ill try to get out and mess around for 30 mins.

[Bigsasquatch]

[drcrippen324]
