Newer version of pachinko cabinets

[Mactek]

I bought a Matrix pachinko so I'm looking for a cabinet. Anyone had any experience with these cabinets from Slot-pachinko.com?

"CUSTOM PACHINKO CABINET


****** We ordered 200 of these from a high end cabinet shop in Mexico. Our cost was $100.00 per cabinet plus freight. We ordered them to use at the various Toy - Game - Electronics shows we attended in 2010. The look is stunning!"

Are they in fact " stunning"?

[luckydog]

they paid a hundred each and are selling for under 50 bucks!!

sounds like a bunch of bull

[Mactek]

Yeah, actually shipping is 50 bucks too. so it's 100 to get one...

[takethecastle57]

Yeah, I fell for that and got 2 of them they are made from MDF ( aka sawdust and glue ) get the other model they offer for $90 or build one of our members designs

I have to defend Curt..i bought 2 pachis from him, a Star Wars and Marvel Heroes. both came well protected and in grest shape except for that the Star Wars unit had some burnt out bulbs. Spoke with someone in support and he mailed me the replacements for free. i wont deny that its like there's "good" Curt and "bad" Curt but they have for the most psrt been decent to me..its just they could work on being a little more friendly... so i guess the quest of the cabinet continues...any suggestions fir someone not carpenterly inclinded? i will buy the wooden frame from Curt if need be...

Yikes,
I have to defend MDF.

It is a great wood if you want a "paint grade" cabinet. It is smoother than poplar, birch or plywood. It holds a kreg joint better than plywood. It is more dimensionally stable than real wood.
It is the wood of choice for the unseen parts of cabinets and countertops across the planet. Almost all arcade and pinball cabinets are primarily made of it. It is less expensive than real wood and finish grade plywood.

It is not particle board.

If you want a cabinet to stain, no, it's not a good choice.

I'll get off my high sawhorse now...
