Just remember the weight of these machines is considerable. You may have to make modifications to whatever you choose to accomodate the extra weight, and be mindful that the machines can tip with the doors open. Especially important if you have kids.

There are many threads discussing this... You can also take a look at the Member Gamerooms thread for additional ideas. I have seen everything from end tables, bedroom dressers, utility tables and even a saw-horse type of table.

or to be honist you could build a bench / table that will look perpus built for next to nothing and you will know its strong enough

For several of mine, I have used file cabinets sort of a duel purpose thing.

Something like this, even though you can find then for about half the price of this one: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html...sin=B0002A70TW

Hello there,

I currently use these TV stands from WalMart http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4529471 and they work great, one machine per stand. They hold the weight fine without reinforcements for my machines. The only thing I would recommend is to change the casters on the bottom and get better ones if you are planning on moving your machine around a lot.

Have Fun!

I have been using a utility cart that you can get at Walmart for $27.88

They are only rated for 70 lbs, so I beef them up with a brace. I screw the machine in to the top so it won't tip if I open the door with a full tray of tokens.
They have rollers on the feet and are the right height for standing or sitting on a 30" bar stool.
You get a little space on the side of the machine for token cups or a can of beer.
A custom built would be the way to go if you had the tools and the ability. My inquirers into the cost of unit for several machines from my nephew who builds furniture was met with a hum and a haw and a estimate of many hundreds of dollars.

I've used the "mission" computer desks from Target. They are sturdier than the regular tables because they are made to hold computers. I would only put 2 machines on each, though. They are pretty heavy.

As for tipping, build some of Ken524's cabinets, they make the machines much more stable!

I must say, you guys are the best ! Thanks for all the info !

I used to use the Walmart ones Sailorpat showed. They are the perfect height for standing or sitting on a standard bar stool. I added a full back panel made of 1/2" plywood to give them more strength. As the pachinko collection grew, I moved all of them onto the utility carts and built a sturdy custom cabinet to hold my 3 pachislos which allows me to tuck them closer together and fits the room better. And yeah, that cost me more than the Walmart ones, but it's a LOT stronger and was fun to build.

This one looks great, and not a bad price-

I was wondering, do I have the right specs of a pachislo-
32"-35"H by 19"-23"W and 13"-15"D. -?

Thanks

Hey guys ! Well I did some research on the search forum, I found two options. I like two stands from Walmart, I see a lot of you guys got them. I like this black one a lot, and for $ 20 its not bad, but isn't it too short-? What do you use for a stool/chair. - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4529471.

Then I see another one - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4529470. Which is taller than the first one for $ 20 bucks. But its not black,to give it that classy look. Maybe I can paint it-? Also what would be a good stool/chair for that-? I'll go with whatever you guys choose.
Thanks !

I have 2 of the second one, I added some small angle brackets to beef them up and kept the wheels off

The utility cart is the one many people use. It is the right height for a typical 24" kitchen stool. The black one is a bit shorter and you'd have to use a regular height chair or low stool for it. You couldn't play standing very comfortably.

You can paint the cart, but I'd suggest using enamel paint or something other than latex. That would tend to scrape easily off the smooth veneer stuff.

Stools are a lot easier to find. Target sells a bunch.

[GTDAROCK]

OK. So its the utility cart for me. Any ideas on stools-?

[arbycoffee]

soft one for the butt, all the sitting

[GTDAROCK]

Ok. Thanx lol

And here I thought that it was a fancy imported ball washer and lifter combo.

A good many of these will work...

Too bad the third from the bottom isn't taller, then we'd never have to stop playing!

I have a couple of these, they are cheap and sturdy...

If you go with the Utility carts, I strongly suggest you beef up their stability. They fit prefectly and are the right height, but they aren't really designed for that much weight. They tend to wiggle from side to side a bit, which is a bit unnerving. This is very easy to do. Some have added angle brackets between the top surface and the sides. I have cut 1/2" plywood to completely cover the "back" of the cart and screwed it in all along both sides. It doesn't budge one bit no matter how heavy the machine is. I also left off the wheels because they wouldn't roll on my carpet anyway.
