They look great! Very parlor-esque with the matching set of 4!

Out of curiosity, did you build the cabinets with battle counter mounting in mind or was it a later decision? I'm just wondering, as I assume the place it's mounted is a ball box and I'm curious as to if there are dangling wires in the ball box.

Can you tell I know nothing about battle counters?

WOW! great job !!! That is pretty much how the Battle Counters look in the parlors

What kind of ball counter?

Gaku has these on ebay now.

Just a ball box at first...then I thought that it would be a great place for the battle counters. I had the volume controls mounted on the box at first.

There are just three wires for the battle counters and they go down the inside of the box under the ball ramp, into the cabinet behind the pachinko.

Very very nice set-up indeed!!

Looks very professional and I do like the way your Parlour Flags are displayed too

I like parlor flags, When ever I get a couple of cells, I have Kiai get some flags. He tosses them in with the cells so the shipping is nada. get a flag on yja for 800 yen and Kiai's 1000 yen and bingo new decorations.

I as thinking of wallmounting too but they are going in my basement and I redid thoses with metal Studs and I am not so sure they will hold all the machines up in row I have to figure out something since I have a "NUMBER" of pachis coming soon and that will give me a large number to deal with... Looks great btw!

Use a french cleat with butterfly bolts. Two 1/4" butterfly bolts can hold 250lb with 5/8" sheetrock. With the french cleat, you just mount the bar and then hang your cabinet.

Oh I think that is similar to the way we fixed our wall mount cabinet, way way back in the mists of time... well 2006 I think

I believe a member told me it was called a 'Museum rail' and I'm happy to say that it has hung firmly on my living room wall, strongly and safely ever since
