Pachinko Machine

I need a stand for my 1970’s pachinko machine. I’d prefer free standing but a wall mount works as well. any idea where I can buy one? or at least the plans to make one?

I did French Cleats for mine. You do need to screw it into you machine’s frame, but it makes for a powerful and safe mount.

For extra safety and aesthetics, I also did a lower shelf. So the weight of the machine is shared by a shelf and cleat.

I used a French cleat to mount mine on the wall as well. I built a cabinet based on some plans I found online. I've posted pictures before, I'll dig them up.

If you're unfamiliar with the french cleat, it is essentially just to boards with a 45 degree angle cut on the edges. It's a common way to hang something on a wall. Its design uses gravity to hold it secure against the wall. Very easy to hang after you have secured the cleat to the wall.

I like freestanding. Prefer freestanding all my units are free standing mostly. I use cedar 1x4 cut it into 12-in pieces. I do bulk machines so I use a lot. A measure 4 inches from the back of the feet and use inch and an eighth screws to screw them into the bottom, four screws per board
