    Default Pachinko Cabinet - Australia??

    Hi All,
    I have a Star Wars Pachinko Machine that i bought from Ebay USA, i wanted to get a cabinet for it, particularly as I have 5000 pachinko balls and i cant obviously fit them all in at the top. Can anyone recommend the cheapest way for me to get one particularly as I live in Australia and dont want to spend $$$$$ on postage.

    Thanks in advance

    A cabinet would probably be pretty expensive to ship since wood is so heavy, but maybe not, hopefully someone thats actually shipped one will chime in!!!I think building one would probably be the least expensive way!!

    there are some very nice plans listed within the pages hear.. im sure that u can fine a hardwear store to cut the lumber for u, if u dont have a saw... todays glues are plenty good to keep it together

    build a box/frame out of 4 pieces of wood and a box to hold the balls on the top.. drill a hole threw the top of the frame so the smaller box can drain balls into the machine as needed.. that way the weight of the balls is on the frame and not on the upper ball holder

    good luck to u

    I would think that buying shelving like Ikaria did

    Quick and easy cabinet

    would be the easiest, then the surfaces are finished.

    or, a great way that johnnynormal has his set up is to use a bookshelf and put the pachinko in at a convenient height for standing. he must have had them in 24 inch wide bookshelves, as they fit perfectly with just enough space to turn them around.

    to keep the machine from falling out, he used the shelf pins in the front holes on the powerflash.

    p.s. why is your avatar flag american?
