ebay cabinet vendor

hi guys.

just assembled two cabinets from this vendor. looks like he can make stands for pachislos or free standing pachinko cabinets, too.

Pachinko cabinet w/ funnel and matching ball box - eBay (item 250368361296 end time Mar-06-09 08:59:55 PST)

I ordered the wall cabinet with feet, unassembled, and got a discount for ordering two. the usual wall cabinet price is $125 shipped, plus feet.

it's good quality birch plywood. the router work is very good on the holes. the angled wood at the bottom took some figuring out (I didn't have a picture of the inside), but it works great. I'm thinking to leave the little door off the bottom front, but it's another nice feature on the assembled ones.

also, the funnel at the top is nice work. it has many compound angles that would have taken me a couple hours to figure out - not to mention lots of wasted wood.

by dad, who's done lots of woodworking, thought it was a very fair price and said he wouldn't even make them for me at that price.

here's some pic's of the assembly. I plan to clear coat with polyurethane, since the birch surface wood had a very nice grain.

(btw, I don't know this guy at all)

only caveat was that the width was 1/8 inch too tight for my sanyo machine. I think my nishijin's, which are the ones that will go into the cases ultimately, are a tiny bit narrower. if you have a sanyo, might want to assemble the case around the pachinko frame, instead of having to whack it in there later. where's the mallet?
