    That's great if you want to turn rach of your machines into the size of a refrigerator. Do you
    have anything that makes the already large collectibles smaller?

    I find it interesting to think of these as collectibles rather than games to play. I guess if I were just putting the pachinko into storage, I'd want them to be as small as possible for storage.
    Personally, I want to play the games and a cabinet like this appears to secure the pachinko at a good height while providing places to place trays of pachinko balls.
    Having said all that, getting something like this shipped from Japan seems to add a lot of extra cost as opposed to adapting something from Ikea or just building a simple cabinet from a single sheet of plywood.

    Let me know when you want to sell just the games.

    Its almost certainly a cheap low grade partical board cabinet with a thin vinyl veneer. So yes just modify or make something instead of spending a fortune to make your collectibles take up more space. Yes, you are collecting these and just like collecting cars, you have more than you need even if you drive them occasionally or have built a huge garage to store them in.

    That's a great way to go. Personally, I'm even cheaper than that and hit up my local Habitat for Humanity Restore to see what they have available - https://habitat.ca/en/restore for Canada but they're in the US as well https://www.habitatmichigan.org/restores

    I've gotten all sorts of great deals on tools and materials for projects over the years. You never can tell what will be in stock but with all the new construction and renovation happening in my area, there's a ton of great stuff going through there cheap.
