Hi,

I am in the middle of restoring my first pachinko machine and when done want to build a cabinet and had concern with the weight to do a wall mount. It will go into my basement which has Sheetrock and paneling attached to the block walls. The basement was finished I am guessing in the 60s or 70s. If I go up through the drop ceiling I can see they used 2x3s rather than standard 2x4 studs. I have no idea how the 2x3s are anchored into the wall. Is there a concern with the weight of a machine and cabinet being mounted to a wall like that? I am not sure if I should do something with a base instead.

Thanks for any advice.
Mike
