    Default Just Finished My Pachinko Cabinets - Take A Look

    Made two self standing cabinets for my two pachinkos. I used 1 x 6 clear pine.
    I modeled the design after the design on some of my vintage pinball machines.
    I started with a base coat of semi-gloss white, then speckled it with gold paint,
    and made up some stencils for the two color patterns on each side. What do you think?

    Very nice. I really like the paint job. The vintage machine doesn't really need ball refills that often but the moderns do... is there a way to feed balls into the modern cabinet with out having to open the door? I have a couple of moderns and need to figure out something on refilling with less disruption to the game play... an no ball lifter.

    nice looking i like the color choice for O-Bake Land.. looks like they both match nice..

    as for refilling put a 2 inch hole in the top then you can use a funnel or build a wood box to set on top..

    Nice job. Before zooming in in on the pics, vintage pins were what came to mind.
    What pins do ya have?

    Looks great! Can you open the door without them tipping over?

    I've got several: all Gottlieb Wedgeheads: King Pin, Pop A Card, Diamond Jack, High Hand, Extra Inning and Jumping Jack (a two player).
    plus four pachislos: Neo Planet, Thunderbirds, Savanna Park and Babel.

    Yep Gottlieb Wedgies are the best and you've got a great collection. up here there's a retro game bar called GroundKontrol. it's full of classic SS pins and video games and sadly only one EM but it's a King Pin. It's not tuned as well as it should be but still fun to play. I've got a Diamond Jack as well and it's a blast to play and is consistently the favorite of family and friends. I think it's that spinning carousel that draws people in. I have an NOS playfield for mine that one of these days I'll get around to switching out. High Hand looks quite addictive and it's one I've been considering getting. Well Capt. Card since I prefer AAB's but I'd be happy with either plus i'd like to have at least one 70's era Gottlieb with 3" flippers. Although my Dimension is from 71 i think it was one of the last games made with 2" flippers.
