    Default Built my First Pachinko Cabinet

    here are pics of my pachinko cabinet. The top holds at least 10000 balls and the bottom will hold about 12000. There is a door on the side which you can drain the bottom box out. and the top is open to dump balls into. I will eventually make a hinged lid to keep the dust a minimum. the back is completely open since I do not have a key for my machine. Also, will be adding doors the the bottom storage area, and possibly a shelf.

    Nice job nwojedi.
    I like the design and it seems to be functional as well. Well done.

    Great work! It is indeed a cabinet fit for a ... "Return of the King"! On behalf of the "Fellowship" let me wish you a hearty congratulations. Now you'll have to get another pachinko so that you'll have an excuse to build the "Two Towers".

    I'll never hear the end of it from my LOTR now as it will want fancy digs too. :sigh1:

    That is nice job. You should be proud...............For the lock, you could always do the Arby lock conversion. I did that with mine and they work great.

    Very nice cabinet indeed - you can be proud of...

    I wish I had the talent to make something like that, along with the tools.

    Great job

    thanks for all the compliments guys. I wanted to make it match the rest of the house and the decor (victorian), so used matching moulding.
    I'm planning on getting a lock from arby eventually. but I have to wait till the funds are available to pull it off. Pinball world has my resources tapped beyond their means.

    Great cabinet, did you make it all from scratch? (reason I ask is because I plan to make some fun, themed cabinets, starting with LOTR and starwars, utilising toys/models etc)
    Nwojedi - can I ask if this stands for 'New world order Jedi'?!
