New Cabinets Complete

[stompstu]

Hi
Just completed my cabinets with integrated ball lifter and battle counters.

A few pics for you.

I like the battle counters added to the top...Very nice set up! Excellent work!

Does'nt the couch get in the way?

[hanabi]

What Couch??

I see no couch, only Pachi Heaven!!



Super cabinets, really like the way you have incorporated the battle counters and all matching too!!

[wrkey]

I would like to see the 'integrated ball lifters setup! Does it have one lifter for each machine or is there one lifter and a ball distribution system?

I also see one lonely pachi sitting on the floor. Was it bad or did it just not make the cut?

Yeah me too! I love seeing what people have come up with for ball lifters. Nice setup!

it looks to have one normal lifter in the center that feeds a set of pvc pipes behind the counters.

Can you take a few pictures of the back of the machines showing the ball syastem?

nicley done like the addition of the counters to hide the top distribution

did you use a continuouse tray at the bottom to supplie balls back to the lifter or a multi pipe set up like i did

if any one wants a quick refrence for building a simerla set up try this

Hi all
Here are a few more pics to help answer some of your questions.

Firstly however, I would like to thank everyone who has ever posted pictures and instructions of their cabinet designs. I found a lot of usefull infomation which gave me the inspiration to build my own.

The three cabinets started out as idividual units, each with a manual feed hopper on top. Thanks to the auction and Sharmoni I aquired a ball lifter.

Each of the side cabinets cascade balls into the middle this was easily achieved b cutting angled slots with the use of a fein tool (bosh version is cheaper) YouTube - Fein Multimaster Displayed with Rick's Scary Diaramas

once the balls are in the middle they roll into the center and drop down into the ball lifter which is cut into the bottom shelf of the middle cabinet

I have lined the ball tracks with some cushion flooring to reduce the noise.

My post on the bottom ball handeling is waiting for a moderator to approve so on with the top hopper
description and pics...

Top Hopper

The top hopper basically fees into a lenght of 40mm waste that has had a section cut out.

the only thing I have left to do is integrate some sliding flaps to cut the ball supply to each machine (got a few ideas but thats my christmas project)

Hope my cabinets will give some inspiration to you, if you are thinking about building your own.

Thanks for reading my thread and any feedback you have will be welcome.

Regards to all
Stuart

[rwarren]

A great job and nice pictures.

[MrGneiss]

Wow, very cool!!

[drcrippen324]

now if yo ugoing to go for those nifty daverob dongles i recomend that you mount the card readers in the bottom of the cabinets where you have blanked off the bal lifter on he middle do the same for the others

[stompstu]

Yes just checked and the ribbon is long enough to fit the daverob card reader bellow.

Guess I better order 2 more!

That's a beautiful thing! I've really gotta get a couple more pachinkos. This is truly debt-inpsiring.
