    Default Pachinko in Parlors Questions --- Wall Mounting and Ball Handling

    I've been trying to see how these pachinkos are mounted in a real pachinko parlor. Unfortunately, the youtube videos and pictures I've seen are either blurry or don't show what I want.

    In a parlor, are the front of the pachinkos flush with the wall? Or do the fronts stick out a little?
    i realize the front of the cabinet isn't flat, but when I say "flush" I referring to where the front cabinet begins.

    Also, regarding ball handing, in a parlor does the "drain" on the pachinko empty into a tube that brings the balls to the conveyor mechanism? I ask because, at least on my Rocky, there is a drain and nothing below it. The balls basically drop into the bottom of the cabinet. So I'm assuming a real parlor has some external device that "plugs in" or slides under there.

    Thanks!

    Adjustable trays like this one, sit inside the cabinet,





    they collect the spent balls and deliver them through a sprung metal tube back to the lower conveyor system.




    The machines sit flush in a row with the apt name sandwich inbetween them (All flush) with the sides. or the bottom panel where the shooter is.



    a ledge underneath for you to put you ball tray when emptying.
    I think the machines are held in place by toggle clamps top and bottom.

    Just do an image search for パチンコ there are loads of pictures.

    Also watch the videos here.

    Any idea the height from the floor to the bottom of the pachinko? Where your ball capture try is placed?

    Chairs are normal height, not like bar stools. Exact height, no idea, I was to busy placing. Just take a seat in a chair, stick you hand out like your holding the shooter, then measure to the floor.

    I set my machines on a work bench, when family members touch the machines, they like to stand up, if they like playing, I have bar stools to sit
