pachislo machine dimensions

[proffesorpeter]

hi there quick request could someone take a measurement of their machines length and width? im building my stands for my incoming purchases and i want to make sure i get it right so they all fit!
cheers, prof P

the measurements may vary slightly, 31 3/4" high, 20 1/2" wide and 8" deep.

You should make it a little larger and use shims to level it.

just looking at your collection in the photo- nicce
looks like youve got them stacked on all sorts of things- these things arent that heavy then?/

[luckydog]

pachislos weight around 90 pounds, pachinkos around 50 pounds.

I beefed up a lot of the stands with angle brackets and braces.

I haven't lost one yet

That 8" can be short for some machines, I would go with about 12".

I just went and measured my machines, about 8"-10" at the top but about 12" at the bottom, if you are makin a shelf go at least 12" deep if not 14'-16''.

Senior Moment , I must have had pachinkos on my mind.

The measurements I gave were for pachinko machines.

Sorry for any confusion

most of my stands are 16 inches deep.

Make them deeper if possible. When you get one of those days when the tray is full of tokens and you have to open it, when it tips forward if theres a lip there it will keep it from tipping any farther forward.

[proffesorpeter]

think something like an old dressing table or office desk would do the trick??

[arbycoffee]

I do

[proffesorpeter]

cheers mate- theres a second hand shop just round the corner from me ill pick something up from there-

My sister used an old sewing machine cabinet she found at a thrift store for 2 of her machines.

find a 200 year old knock up, it would be fitting for the machine.
