Got My Pachinko Cabinets.NET

[Stingray]

I don't think you give yourself enough credit. They're not in any way difficult to build and you get much more satisfaction sitting in front of one you built yourself than you would from one you purchased. You really should give it a try, I had a lot of fun putting mine together. As soon as my other pachinko arrives, I'll be building one for it too.

I had a semester of wood shop in high school, thats when I found out I was a wood butcher.

I may attempt something simple one day

[slothappy144]

I spent most of high school in the shop class, making things for teachers and helping the instructor with the beginner class' I love the smell of fresh cut wood.
I get satisfaction in making something nice that someone appreciates. I fix PC's for a 40 hr a week job and there is little to no appreciation from this. Sometimes people break stuff (again) before I can close out the work order. UGH frustration.. gottta go I have about 20 work orders to look at.

Yeah I just love the Cabinet my Wookie made for Star Wars!

I'm trying to get him to make one for Julie the Pinball and Garfield next !!

They sooooo deserve a Cabinet

They sooooo deserve a Cabinet

I agree completely. I felt guilty playing mine while it was still precariously perched on a countertop. Now that it's securely mounted in it's own custom built cabinet, all seems right with the world again. Well at least with the part of the world that exists inside my game room.

Instead of taking wood or metal shop, my sister who was a grade ahead of me talked me into taking typing instead. First she said it's an easy "A". I replied, "but it's filled with girls!", she replied, "yeah, stupid".

Most useful class I ever took!

My wife and I just got our cabinet from the same vendor, We purchased ours online from ebay. We sold our New Sea Story pachinko to buy a cabinet for our Sakura pachinko which made our Sea Story pale in comparison. Twice the visuals & sound, we could go on & on about the beauty of the Sakura but I'm sure most of you already know. So anyway the cabinet arrived in about 3 weeks, which was expected so no surprise. I was emailed about the issue shortly after the order about the wait due to orders being filled. I was surprised to find it was packed very well with foam and bubble wrap which right off the bat blew Slot USA out of the water with everything just thrown in a box. I ordered the natural Oak which arrived stained and detailed with matching front trim that covered the layers of the cab grade edges giving a pretty grained solid look. A nice touch that was also missing from the other vendor. The gold trim around the top was also a wonderfull touch that not only matched the other hardware but the Sakura itself which is also trimmed in gold. The trim on the cabinet had to be tapped a little into place with a rubber mallet on the corners a bit but is no prob compared the the rest of the construction which had very flush edges & a smooth solid finish which was also missing from the cab ordered from Slot USA. Over all I'm very happy & would suggest if you work as much as we do and don't have time to build one yourself, these guys are the way to go hands down. The only mod I'm going to add is a solid padded bottom to the ball hopper in the bottom where they come out. The centering ramp like shape effectively directs the balls to the the ball return door but the edges at the peak tend to cause the balls to wedge which makes you have to dig to get them out if you close the door at any time during or before play. I tested a few fixes all included putting tape over or covering the edges at the peak that caused the wedge. My final solution came from a combination of a borrowed idea from the parlor ball trays with my original fix. If you have purchased pachi parlor ball trays you may have noticed that some come lined with a thin layer of dense foam which dramatically quiets the plop factor as they fill up. I going to line the bottom with a layer of a similar style foam. Which I'm sure can be purchased from a hobby store for others. I will use the sheet that came as packing with another order I recieved. A little spray ahesive and pow you now have a softer smooth funnel like bottom in which the balls will flow right out. Well my arm is asleep from writting all this on my laptop trying to lie on the couch so I will conclude.

Nice review Segaboy!

A few more nice reviews like yours about pachinkocabinets.net and maybe I'll be convinced to trust their system enuff to give them a trial order of one cab .

[Segaboy]

One question I did forget to ask during my speech, what is the hole on the side of the cabinet for?? I heard it has something to do with people who don't have keys for their pachinko? I have keys. Please explain?

[Tulsa]

That would be correct.

The latch to open the unit can either be turned by key or you can reach around a unit without a cabinet and press the latch down. Since you have the cabinet, you would need the hole to reach the latch without a key.

I just recieve my second cabinet from them. The packaging has much improved with foam and bubble wrap. They seem to have corrected a lot of the concerns that have been expressed previously. I will be ordering my third from them.

Hello there!!! Ya its me Brenda
I actually got a relative of mine to inspect the cabinets before sending. I try to read these as they come in but in this busy world I dont always get them answered. Before you beat me over the head, think of this. I am the only cabinet seller that cares enough respond to the pachitalk nation. I use a local service for email and well its not the best. I also get so many emails its hard to answer every one. That will improve, but more importantly I try to solve any quality issues that come up, and improve my design when I can. I recently recieved several inquires about my competitors products, Most have waited up to two months for a cabinet but recieved junk when it arrived. Both of these companys stole my cabinet design, and use inferior building materials when they can get away with it.
I have sold many of these cabinets and to date have less than one percent of my clients who have had problems with my work. Every business is this world runs into problems its part of life. All I ask is to give me a chance to make any deal right if possible before trashing someone reputation.
I am still using elderly and handicapped people to help me. 99% of the time they do real nice work, occasionally someone gets somthing wrong, I am working to correct any flaw in the system. But it is a real benefit to the community and I can rest at night knowing Ive helped some people no one else wants to. I have now sold more from my web site than I have on ebay. You are welcome to shop there but please be patient. Rome was not built in a day!!!!! I run this from my home in Nevada and work full time.
Thanks so much for your support here I appreciate the well intended comments and ideas this forum has come up with. As for now cabinets will still be shipped from Idaho, not extremely fast, but you will recieve a well made cabinet that is fully functional and made here in the USA.

My Web site is WWW.pachinkocabinets.net
telephone is 775 754 6335

email bbricemobile@yahoo.com

Please use cabinet reference in the subject box example: (Blk wall mount 9/18). Ive gotten so much spam its rediculous and inadvertently do trash some of the emails. Also, a phone number is requested when ordering for the shipper and me. I have been transferring all my business from the old email address and do apoligize for the confusion. Please try emal first

I will address a few questions. As you all know anything with keys can become a problem if they are misplaced or lost. If the cabinet is a wall mount, and the keys are lost you cant get into the machine with out taking it completely out of the cabinet. That is the reason for the hole. Also Ive been sold plastic keys if they break you are in trouble untill you replace the lock or rectify the situation. We cut these cabinets out in sets so it is easier to do them all the same.
Idea for loud ball problems. The thick shelf liner or tool drawer liner works great in the bottom of the cabinet to reduce noise. I think a roll costs like 2.50 and will do alot of cabinets, and you can use the extra in any drawer, so you arent buying something you cant use.
If you want to get a cabinet a little faster try ordering it ready to stain or paint. I get alot of special orders and they take extra time and cost more. Also if you do have any problems please call or write me first. Please also try to add any additional information to your paypal invoice. Additional emails sometimes get lost or misplaced. Thanks so much to the many customers who enjoy my cabinets and appreciate the products.

Thank you Brenda for communicating directly with the members of PachiTalk. We do very much appreciate the update!

You also might find it easier on you, instead of responding to multiple emails, to simply post something here as quite a few of those emails could be addressed in one posting.

Now if you want to drop all those ebay listing fees and sell your cabinets on our auction site, I'm sure everyone will benefit!

[H20Dreams]

I would love to seen Brenda selling some of these cabinets on PachiTalk! I am ready to order my next one.

[ebayb840]

We need some pictures, you should have quite a display now!!!!!

[gorgo35]

Brenda,

I haven't received the replacement legs for the cabinet that I got from you yet. Are they on the way?

Thanks,
Steve Smith
