    Hi, does anybody have any suggestions for keeping a machine higher than normal ? Are there some sort of risers I can get to stand a pinball machine maybe 4 to 7 inches higher than standard? Any suggestions? Thank you.

    Bed risers, perhaps? I'm not sure how stable that would be, though.

    What machine? What length are your current legs?

    Legs do come in different lengths and you can just get longer ones.

    Typical new sterns. I’m going to need some clearance if I put it in front of a AC vent. Just enough extra space for the air to pass under the cabinet instead of directly onto it

    I did not know this (:

    Who sells this?

    34 3/4” are the longest legs that I am aware of and Marco did stock these at one point. So if you can find a set of those then you will be off to a good start and could could a bit higher with longer stem leg levers!

    Could you just add a short duct onto the vent?

    They used to sell a plastic quarter round that adjusted in length and has magnets on each end that goes on the vent and defects the air flow up or down. Made specifically to redirect the air on vents.

    Thanks (:

    It’s been a warm January but I usually run through AC eight to ten months a year. Mediterranean blood (:

    I don't know that I'd trust it, but look into "bed risers".

    I’ve heard that too I mean they probably work multiple people do sleep on beds and weight more than a pinball machine would (:

    Yes look up heat/ air deflector

    Yep - we have a vent underneath a bench with one of these on the vent, blows it straight out over the floor. Makes sense in the winter, heat rises anyways right?
