    Default Need advise for Cabinet

    Hi everyone

    I just bought Back to the future pachinko machine from Rita at Bluehotaru.com. A+ for both service and machine. I'm looking to either build or buy a cabinet for my machine. It already has a wood frame around it with wood feet. now do i need to remove the wood frame to install it into a cabinet or can i keep it attached?

    yes yes keep the wood frame it is part of the whole machine...

    remove the feet and build your cabinet around the machine...

    and please post pics of your project

    Welcome to PachiTalk!

    Cabinet design is going to depend on a few options:
    • Free standing, or wall mounted
    • Cyclic, Semi-Cyclic, or Parlor-ready ball handling
    • Options like Battle counters, etc..

    Like Hanabi mentioned there are a ton of good designs in the cabinets area and members will be happy to share plans, pitfalls, and advice - just ask!

    thanks for the advise everyone. I'm gonna try to build on this weekend. I have 2 more machines comming next month( Yamato 1 and 2). They are comming from Frank at custompachinko. So if the cabinet works out I'll just build the other 2 right away.

    Frank at custompachinko.com must be a busy man. I also have an order with him and will be getting a Looney Tunes pachinko and pachislo from him next month!

    I'm VERY impressed with him so far. Communication has been second to none!! And, his prices seem VERY reasonable to me.
