Poor mans answer to expensive slot machine stands
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2016 5:20 pmI've seen photos of machines for sale in some of your houses and am envious of the stands they are parked on.
Not being made out of moolah and saving what I have for decent machines PLUS being physically limited due to
recent surgery there is plenty of time for me to tinker and get in trouble as long as it's not over 10 pounds lol!
You see these oak ice box reproductions everywhere from $5 bucks to $100 at garage sales, flea markets and all the
places we go to find machines. I like to keep my price at $20 bucks for a nice undamaged cabinet. Then for legs
there is a guy in Canada on ebY that sells brand new unfinished ball and claw legs for like $5 bucks each NEW!
He will ship as many as you want for $14 bucks not a bad deal. Each leg is a pound or two at best, and needs to have
the attaching block you can't see under the cabinet, needs to have about 3/8 of an inch shaved off to fit better.
Some glue and clamps a few screws and wood buttons some stain and wax and there you go a $50-60 dollar do it yourself project.
It stands 33 inches tall, 16 inches deep and 22 wide. Just about perfect for my needs.
Anybody else have a bargain stand or unusual way to display your machines low budget?
Share some photos I need more ideas. Tomorrow I'm starting a three machine stand.
