Anchoring and base
Ask whether the cabinet bolts to the floor or relies on weight, and for the fixing drawing. Ask what floor the factory assumed.

The hard part is force: every player hits the pad as hard as they can, so a cabinet that is not anchored, or a pad that wears through, turns a game into an injury claim.
01
Ask whether the cabinet bolts to the floor or relies on weight, and for the fixing drawing. Ask what floor the factory assumed.
Ask the pad material, how the arm returns after a hit, and the price and supply of replacement pads. A worn pad exposes hard parts to a fist.
Ask how the strike is measured and how the score is calibrated. Uncalibrated scores drift, and regulars notice.
Ask which euro coins and card reader the unit takes. If high scores win prizes, your country's prize and gaming rules apply, and the licence question is yours.
02
Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Mount the cabinet as the fixing drawing shows and strike the pad repeatedly at full force. | The cabinet does not move or rock, and the arm returns every time. |
| Open the pad and inspect what a fist meets under it. | No hard edge, bolt head or frame sits within reach through a worn pad. |
| Cut the mains mid-game, then restore it. | The unit restarts unaided with meters and settings kept. |

Buy a basketball arcade machine, where players do not strike the cabinet.
Buy a claw machine or coin pusher machine, which take no impact.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.

Every machine we source in this area is on the Vending & arcade page. How a project runs, stage by stage, is on how it works, and what it costs is on pricing.
Straight answers
Judge the base, pad and fixing, not origin. A used European unit may come with pads and a known service record.
Fixing drawing, strike test for movement, pad construction, arm return, score calibration, payment, meters and importer details.
A Declaration of Conformity for machinery, low voltage and EMC law, with a technical file, risk assessment and EN 60335-2-82 report.
The EU business that first places it on the market, usually you. Your name goes on the machine or its papers.
