Looking for Stands...the once-a-year NLG question

[JeffFireRadio]

Greetings.  So, I've about completed my fleet of slots for my game room and now need some good casino-type stands in lieu of the rather nice furniture-grade ones I'm now using.  I have checked previous posts and contacted those who had some available back in 2014 and 2015.  Those cupboards are currently bare. 

I would like to buy about 9 matching stands...black, metal, with foot rest recess (if possible).  I know, beggars can't be choosers.   

Please let me know if you have any nice units in stock.  I'd prefer to pick them up in lieu of shipping.  I'm in the Midwest, before you ask.  Thanks all.

I've been looking around for good sources for slot bases and found this company:

They primarily sell direct to Casinos, but it looks like you can buy individual bases as well.  Prices look reasonable, but you'd probably have to pay for shipping.  If you do contact them please let us know how it goes.  I believe they only sell new, not used.

Well, outstanding reply and thank you.  I'll be calling them today and let you know the results.  --Jeff

Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Nobody was answering the phone today, so I left my contact information and am awaiting a reply.  Thanks a bunch for the link.  These folks have some outstanding products available and their website hints of a quality product (my opinion, not theirs).  I am shocked at the $85 price for the basic unit.  Seems more than fair. 

Standing by for a call.

Receive a call back yet? I'm interested in this deal myself!
Thanx,

Don't know for sure if this person was there but the G2 convention was this week so maybe give it until Monday.

Thank you.  No call back from them today either, so that might be the reason.  That's okay, because their product looks worth waiting for.

Update....   I received a call from Chris at Innovative Casino Products (slotbases.com) this morning.  They've been on the road taking care of business for the past few days.  Nice folks and very helpful with my quest! 

So, I am going to be ordering some single, double, and triple stands for my gameroom.  I'm pretty sure I am going for their black versions with the footrest recess area.  I may do some blue LED lighting under the kickpanel area.  I'm formulating my order over the next few days. 

Prices are very reasonable for their quality products.  For the single units I'm buying, they'll be $185.  They offer laminated-only sides or full wood sides (you can see the difference if you look at some of their website pics).  The full wood version adds about $50, included in my $185 reference).  Seems worth it to me for the extra strength and the look.

Their standard 'bull nose' version is what you see in most casinos (the one with the lip at the top).  It's probably what most of us have bought used in the past.  Very reasonable at $105 (up from the special they ran and that was referred to earlier in this blog at $85).       

So, shipping....  I don't have any plans to head to northern Michigan in the immediate future, so they'll have to send them my way.  A protected pallet holds 12-16 single stands.  I am looking for something less than that (9-10ish).  If there is anyone else in the Midwest who might be interested, I could order a full pallet (model and colors mixed to whatever we all want) and we could distribute the remainder locally.  I live between and travel the Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma area frequently, so we could figure something out for delivery of any extra ones.  Just offering.  Nobody wants to pay shipping for just one.     

Anyhow, just updating everyone on the progress.  Thanks again for the link.  I did suggest that they pursue 'good vendor' status with NLG and earn a header at the top of the website home page, as every slot machine needs a stand and somebody's always searching.  It just happened to be me this time.  I hope they get a banner spot, so I can always find them quickly.

Thanks for the update Jeff!  I'm glad it worked out for you.  I'm still a ways from needing bases for my game room, but it is good to know this dealer is an option.  I definitely prefer the professional Casino style stands (especially bull-nose), and being able to get them in new condition is even better. 


I'm guessing they probably didn't even realize there was a niche market among crazy collector types.      I'm glad they're willing to deal with us directly and not just casinos and dealers.

Oh!  And don't forget to post pictures on this thread when you get them!
