    Anyone have a picture with backbox to backbox machines?

    Could not easily find one and I'm going to propose this for my next possible venue.

    Thanks, just post here or ?

    The "Pictures of your game room" thread has some in it.

    I made it to page 5 of the pictures and saw at least one photo you are looking for.

    Here's one of my rooms with a center section of 8 games back-to-back.

    A room? In England we call that a ground floor

    This section is 30' x 30'. Figure a game is 5' long so the aisles between games (coin door to coin door) is 5'.

    Haha! That's only 1/2 of it. It's a separate building out behind my house (30' x 60') or 10 meters x 20 meters.

    Thanks benheck I found his drawing of the Paxton machine which I copied & reversed ending up with this.

    The dimensions are for Stern Star Wars, this could have been used to figure out where they might fit using the smallest amount of space.

    the rear legs should be at a slight angle as well, certainly not dead straight like that

    In post #3 you can see that they siamesed the legs putting them inside each other to get them closer. For my purposes this showed the idea.

    In the picture of my games in the center, the back legs are not siamesed together like you are thinking. The game behind CV is STTNG which is a widebody. Having a STTNG behind CV the legs do not quite line up, making it look siamesed. In actuality, for the most part, the levelers of one game are touching the levelers of the other behind it. To get a better understanding of the measurement, each carpet square is 3' x 3'. The two games are sitting on 4 tiles (12') with a little more than 1' in front of the front legs. If you take into account plunger lengths, 2 back-to-back games are almost exactly 10'.
