    Default Cabinet build.

    I am going to build a simple cabinet for my Pachinko machines, I have a question though, has anyone put the machine slightly angled back? Will it effect anything? The reason I ask is these are so front heavy I want to try to shift the weight so it's not as likely to time forward.

    yes vintage machines in particular actually want to be back.. its a small bit only 2 or 3 degree.

    i'm sure a modern machine would benefit from this as well..

    but lets be clear.. leaning back is not where near enough.. make your cabinet with some feet sticking our front.. i now build my cabinets with a shelf that sticks out front far enough to protect the plastics if it fell over.. this gives you good stability and protection "if" it falls over..

    Would you share the specs of that cabinet. When i purchase my 2002 pachinko Modern, the seller left it in the garage and took quite a bit of humidity and the case is very bad in some spots. Thank you

    if you are referring to my cabinet they are each built to the machines actual size.. there are small variations from one machine to the other.. so no real specs to share..

    i can provide more pics if your interested..
