You have plenty of room for pins. You gonna keep the pool table? I wish I had room to put my 7 footer up, I really miss it.
Quoted from Gorno:I don't particularly want to paint anything in the basement. This place is temporary. But, in a couple years I will hopefully have a nice finished basement. My basement would be a nightmare to reorganize for painting. 672 square feet and no garage makes my basement a mess.
I see, that makes sense then. My gameroom section is about 600sq ft.

I love the pool table. I stink at pool but I relish just shooting balls after the family is in bed and football is on.

I hear ya, when my garage is finished inside I'm gonna set mine up out there. The garage is 24X36 with a 10ft ceiling, big enough for my Mustang, the table and a nice work space, maybe a pin or 2, a 50in. tv and some seating.
Quoted from AlexSMendes:You need to buy a JACK-BOT!
I'd love to own a Jack Bot. Then I believe I'd have every game that Pinbot was in one way or another. 
Quoted from rottenrobert1313:Heres my gameroom. I fall into the category of plenty of space but not enough money. Lol.
Getting ready to do a full tare down on my most recent new to me game. Bop.

Nice early game line. I have just the opposite problem...enough money but out of space.

Gotta get the BOP 2.0 kit first ...

Actually, I need to find a better playfield for the bride. She's a little worn down. For now I'll just clean her up and replace the ramps and a few other parts.

If you ever come up for a Husker game, stop by and play some pinball!

I'd love to find a Ford one for my garage, it has a 10ft ceiling.

They are really cool lights. You can sometimes find em on epay for a decent price. From the era they were made you would be looking for the Ford Taurus blue duece like yzfguy's. Here's my Chevy.

That looks awesome! Did you turn the light fixture upside down to light it up? I removed it and put color changing led strips inside.

Aah. I see. I made a shield for the bottom so light did not come out and glare off of everything. I usually hang with just neons and pins on and those tubes are BRIGHT!

They are bright, they were made as Billiard lights. Its great when im workin on a game, I just slide the game under it. I leave it off when I have the games on tho, the neons are plenty in the space and set a good "mood"
Quoted from mamemaster:Here are my latest pics....
Where did you get your bartop MAME with the 2x 6 buttons?
Was it something you built? I'd love to find something like that.

I found a few but man are they expensive. I'm out.
Quoted from MustangPaul:I found a few but man are they expensive. I'm out.
Ha! I just looked on epay and they are stuuupid priced! I think I paid 250 a few years ago. There was a bunch listed over 500 at the time too, they do come up at reasonable prices tho!
Quoted from pinmanguy:Is Nascar the one where they just drive around in circles or is that indy cars?
Hey I've driven a stock car at Daytona at 160mph when it was 95 degrees outside and the dew point was 80. It is waaaaaaay more difficult then they make it look....and I wasn't out there with 41 other cars tryin to stuff me into the wall. I have TOTAL respect for what those guys do every week. Try it some time and you'll see what I mean.

Yuuuuuup! Those that don't watch/understand racing have zero idea how difficult it is.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:I love that long stretch with pins on one side and bar top and stools on the other side. Fantastic space!
Me too, fits perfectly and looks amazing.
Quoted from pinmanguy:Didn't say it wasn't difficult, I couldn't do it. But difficult doesn't equal entertaining.
To be actually on the stands and watch a live NASCAR race or any race that "drive around circles" is awesome, and a experience some can never forget. Now, to watch a live race on a road course can be extremely boring especially when you only get to see the cars pass right through you every 2 min or so... They all have it's unique characteristics and I love'em all!
Quoted from Spitfiren8:No its still stock.

You see, I'd hang it upside down..... Wasn't originally meant to be like this?
Still my favorite and lovingly drama-free thread on pinside. My turn to post. I was going to wait until it was done-done but I've come to realize that it will never happen... Always more to do. A couple more games in the garage to add and bunches of stuff to add to the walls. Pretty current minus the just added popcorn cart. As you can tell I'm big into branding my gameroom. This along with hundreds of other images flash on the TV screens throughout the space.

Very nice! Similar setup with toolbox in room like I have - make working convenient. Where did you get the stackable stools?
Quoted from MT45:Very nice! Similar setup with toolbox in room like I have - make working convenient. Where did you get the stackable stools?
Thanks!
If I have a party with more than 10 people I generally move the toolbox into a different spot or a nearby storage room since it gets in the way. Great for putting pizza on it. The worst part is my bad habit of filling it with stuff not put away 
The stools don't yet have my branding on them but will eventually. They are are fold able and stack able. They come from Home Depot at http://www.homedepot.com/p/Gorilla-Ladders-1-Step-Plastic-Stool-with-300-lb-Load-Capacity-PL-1/203247301. I seem to recall I got them for $7 or $8 but I'm not positive. Still a great stool and worth $10. Wish they were red though
Quoted from yzfguy:I ahve a 1/2 size Nascar hood on the ceiling :)IMG_20150904_114748_709.jpg
Cool, I have a door skin with the race graphics on it from when I raced my Mustang on the Bonneville salt flats, it will be going on the garage wall.
