I've both seen and lifted Ninos game beautiful but bloody heavy I especially like your dads special touch with the back legs Lol

I cringed when you picked it up Daniel !

The rear legs are modified metal legs. There is a crossbeam on an angle bolted to the mid section of the cabinet. The reason for this is that in the day the machines were operated, players used to push the machines so hard, the legs would almost break. Since they were made of wood, it didn't take long for them to split, and the machine was too easily moved (no tilt) for the player to win. All four legs SHOULD be wood, and they look much better. The front legs are original = made from wood.

With this modification, the player would find it much harder to manipulate their chance of winning.
