$450 shipped is a great price on a star wars Pachinko if it is a full sized unit.

It did not say anything bout being compact at all I've been watching these auctions for the past couple of weeks. I don't know why but I'm just very leary of a guy in Japan with 34 feedback stating shipping $49 28-60 days a seller sent me an email noticing I bid on the slots usa one last week and had BIN listed so I grabbed it, now just have to wait very excited though I am sure I will have to make a cabinet or base of some sorts does the mod arby do that for anyone, I do have my own wood doctor just curious? I did think it was a fair price though

I am not sure I fully understand what you are asking but I would definitely recommend building or buying a cabinet rathar than just installing a base. If you do want to add a base you can buy 2 small pieces of wood and make feet for a few dollars.

Welcome to the forum! I thought about building a case for my Star Wars machine and the others but was always concerned with the heat issue. The boards do get warm on these machines and I believe heat,and computer boards do not go very well together. If you could build a case with this in mind it might not be so bad. Or if you won't use it much maybe it might be alright but mine gets a lot of use. But maybe I worry to much but it is a expensive investment.

Hmm...I think they are made to be installed in cabinets. They are certainly in some type of cabinet when they are in the parlor.

I be like you I worry to much about over heat, it is a killer of all good toys. I don't care for wall mounts. Unless you are going to do a fan some way.

Yes,they are open in the back at the casino so I always thought there is a reason for it. Burn out a board good luck fixing it. If you had a fan in the back that might very well be a good idea.
