Hello, what are the two vertical strips of wood on the back of Pin? Are they some kind of wall saver? Where can I get a replacement or should I just make one?

Thanks,

I'm assuming that you mean these?

They support the game's weight when it's folded up and standing vertical and help protect the bottom area of the cabinet from being scraped and dinged up when it's being stored or moved around.

I've had to make them for at least a couple games. I haven't seen anyone make them available for sale, though.

If you do make them, be sure to use a hard wood, not something soft like pine.

When the pin is up ended and crated they keep the back up off the bottom of the crate. Nothing to do with the wall.

Easy to make your own, and pound a couple feet on them.

When the machine was shipped it was vertical in the box. That was the bottom. Keeps the game in good shape. They also shipped with little casters (on the wood strips) So it could be more easily moved around on end.

If you dont have them. You can make your own. They are very handy.
