    Default Mounting Height for cabinet

    I realize this is an open question with many possibilities but I just got my cabinet finished and am planning to mount my ONLY Pachinko in the hall near the entrance to the Kitchen, Living room, Top of the stairs from the front entrance and I realized I really don't know how high this thing should be mounted!!

    Any ideas would be appreciated. I expect it to be seen from several angles and available to have a ball played by anyone just passing by it. I don't expect to have a stool in place, more of a walk-on-by and play type thing.

    If it's modern machine then I'd say eye level with the middle of the screen.

    My pachinkos are mounted 32" from the floor to the bottom of the machine.

    That is sort of the area I was thinking of. The machine is a Vintage mid-70's but I have sons, nieces and nephews of all heights (4' - 6'5") and was looking for a defined average to go by.

    whatever height is comfortable for your arm when using the flipper, consider that your going to have your hand there a lot!

    keep in mind if your going to use a chair... taller chair the higher the machine...

    When I mounted my Pachis, I had my wife sit at the stools I planned to use (facing the wall) and pretend to flip the handle. That indicated to me the height of the "comfortable reach" for the flipper, so I went with that. As Mopar states, you will need to take into consideration the height of your stools, or the height of the average player if the end user will be standing.
