Idea for a stand

[minnesotabrad]

I bought one of these today at my local Target because they are on temporary price drop of $38.00! It is perfect for two machines. 30 inches tall, wide enough to keep machines apart to open doors and deep enough that there is room in front of machines to set your favorite beverage and coin cups. Shelves below to hold token trays and extra tokens. I think it has a nice look to it. I may have to pick up more at that price.

You would have won it but during your screen test that other actor was screaming bloody murder while you had him down. What was that you were yelling, "I'm an engineer, but I got me a caboose, toot...toot"?


Poor guy...

What can i say the better man won with your
rendition of Oklahoma and medley of Judy Garland songs i never stood a chance .......

good find Brad, double stand for cheap $.
Why does it look like 2 saw horses and a plank? is it just my monitor again?

Nice find Brad. I think I can make those work for my Pachinkos!

[rbinkerd]

After agonizing on whether to build or buy something to place pachislos on, I decided to go with buy. Shopko has these stands on sale now for $99 and will hold 2 pachis. They are 43" wide and 20.5 inches deep and are very sturdy. They are called Rustic Manor TV stand.

I went with build, after careful research and scrounging through my scrapwood I came up with roll around stand based on the sofa table, I need to attach the power srip to the back but almost ready to go. I need to build another like it plus a single, to match. sorry if the pics are bad,

why not do both ....my wife dragged me into a salvation army and i bought this cabinet but had to lower the top about a foot and a half but it made an excellent cabinet .Its amazing what you can get dirt cheap and refurbish to your liking .

I saw that cabinet in another of your posts, I noticed the added switch and outlet. My master switch for this will be mounted like a bank teller panic button. kinda like the picture below, only it will be under the lip in the front, this is my gun case. now you see it, now you don't. first is with glass door open, next is closed.

The assembly instructions do call it a saw horse desk. It works great! I have two of my machines on it and will be picking some more up at that price.

if you don't want to make one, K Mart and Target have what they call Misson End tables and coffee tables.$29.00 on sale, they are heavy duty and they look great

Thanks Brad that explains why they have the saw horse look. they are supposed to!
My orders from the wife was to have castors so she can move them when she needs to setup as a spare bedroom. I say let the guests sit in the stools and play all night, no sleep neeeded!

hey brad, Sid already has this stand, in the field!

these waer bad pictures, I vow not to use the Sony indoors again.
below is a better image. this stand went together really fast, I was sitting on it assembled in less than 6 hours.
It is red oak with red mahogony stain and 3 top coats of Spar varnish. A little darker than I usually make for myself but the attention should go to the machines not the furniture it is on.

I tried the stands and didn't like them I mounted mine on the wall. So much nicer and leaves more room.

[minnesotabrad]

How did you mount pachislo's to the wall? Do you have any pictures?

[scooby_doo_m2002]

I would like to know also...

[Sparky]

Hi, some of these stands look great, especially the sawhorse one, however I live in the UK and as such we don't have stores like Target etc. I would be interested to know what other UK members use for their stands and where they got them from.

Thanks

Hi All

We have bought 2 of the 30 inch wide aquarium stand at Petsmart..here they are $69.99 each and fit the machines perfectly. They are about 30 inches tall which make them perfect for either standing in front of...or sitting on a bar stool. Plus they have a door on the front and a shelf inside for plent of storage. These stand should be able to hold up a long time as an aquarium of that size is over 200 pounds when full. So sturdiness should not be an issue.

Hope this helps someone!
Matt and Marty

Here ya go I hope this gives you some other ideas

oops I guess i don't know how to get my photo on here But if you look in the members gamerooms I have photos in there and you'll see them going across the top of the page every now and then. I'll try and get photos on here as soon as i figure out how to resize them. It said they were to big and I'm not much of a computer wiz
