    Nice hinged cabinet! Is that a Ginza on the left? Very cool blue cell on the right! Very nice!

    I think I saw a thread awhile back on making the plastic ball tracks. Is that the blue machine? I once made a ball track out of part of a Listerine bottle.success 002.jpgsuccess 008.jpgsuccess 009.jpg Yours look great! How about a pic of the blue cell!

    I am working on some old single ball machines now. I was thinking about how I was going to display them. Can you please tell/show me your plans for the hinged cabinet design? Thanks for your help.

    blue cell.JPGhinge.JPGHere is a pic of the cell and the cab with the hinge. It was pretty simple. A couple of 1x8 pine boards, stained, and cut to the exact size of the machines frame(no nails required)they fit snug. $8 piano hinge(brass) and a small block of wood as a header to give the machine a little extra support and a small magnetic latch. The wood studs in my wall lined up just right to screww the hinge into. Luckily these machines are half the wieght of the later machines. Less than $24 per box
