(Topic ID: 1058)
Annual Pinball Party #4 was a success. 22 people showed up. I had 16 games setup in my house which included: Ghostbusters Pro, Aereosmith Pro, Elvira and the Party Monsters, Austin Powers, Taxi, Jokerz!, Phantom of the Opera. Em's: Gottlieb Sky Jump, El Dorado, Atlantis, Abra Ca Dabra, Buccaneer, Volly, Jack Open, Hit the Deck. Also Nudge It, Galaga, Donkey Kong and Fix it Felix . Now Im back down to only 7 pins in my game room. It was so much fun seeing everyone and hanging out. I think I need to build and new game room for all my pins. Merry Christmas everyone.

and so do i.
Quoted from grantopia:Did some rearranging this weekend to get all the pins together and Flash in the line up now that I got it working.
Love the Williams theme!!
Latest addition to the game room. 1951 Stoner "Univendor" candy machine, automotive paint with clear coat. I installed stealth LEDs on the three trim pieces that hold the mirror along with laser-cut acrylic lenses.

No, it has a pull knob that sets off a clock-wound mechanism. Code is 3-3-3. Then I have a small wireless transmitter inside, and a remote 8 in. gong that dings out the fire code (used a slot machine bell coil inside the brass gong and hid the radio receiver behind the "Fire" mirror - another laser cut piece). The cast cage lights are actually coiled filament LEDs that flash like a current-day police strobe when the alarm is pulled - otherwise, just stay on.

That looks great, I love the art deco styling! But you’re in Colarado, so one of those slots should be for cannabis.

The mirror is a problem, when someone overweight contemplating a purchase sees their reflection and asks "do I need this?"

Should install one of those carnival mirrors that make you look smaller 
Quoted from KingBW:Did this pop up on anyone else's Facebook page? Just curious ... didn't know where else to post it, but since the description says it's for you to wear while playing pinball in your game room, I thought this would be the place.

I don't think it's spells "pee", but they didn't fix the original spelling error .

Bad eyes...you’re right.
Quoted from Phat_Jay:Getting there....
Looks awesome - what are those lights you’ve got going on there?
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Looks awesome - what are those lights you’ve got going on there?
It looks like a combination of some Christmas lights and a disco bulb similar to this one ...

Quoted from jsa:It's a tight fit, but here's my game room.
What is that above the TOM?

You should change your pinside name to “bussomman1”.....every game you have features a great rack on every Translite! Lol

Somehow its not that hard to accomplish this in the pinball world!
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:What is that above the TOM?
That's an external screen displaying the DMD. In this particular case it's DMD Extender. Enough people crowd around ToM at parties that it made sense. (I'm a huge fan of SmartDMD as well by the way, I think that is an excellent product, but my part broken RPi kept overheating because I was doing other stuff with it so I swapped it out.)

Could be said of most pins, of course, but yes, there does seem to be a theme in my game room... Future Spa is off the rails.

That's awesome.
Quoted from xsvtoys:Somehow its not that hard to accomplish this in the pinball world!
You can be “bussomman2”! Lol
Finally getting the basement remodeled after we did most of the house. Still getting decorations and the like but successfully hosted 40 people all having fun thanks to Brackelope. Really helped everyone try things out they normally wouldn’t have. Still searching for a LOTR and maybe a new POTC.

Nice racing setup, I’m thinking of building one to practice as I take my cars to the track from time to time. What is it hooked up to, pc or game console?
The lastest addition to my game room. Picked it up on Sunday and re did the entire game bondo work on the corners/paint/LEDs/went through the electronics all over 4 days to have it ready for a party on Saturday. It looked good red but changing it to black really made it pop.

Yeah I'd like one too, I want to drive different tracks but without other cars in the way.

I built it using 80/20 extruded aluminum. Pretty easy stuff to work with. Bought a knock off racing seat from China. Put triple bass shakers into it so you can feel which side you are hit or going over rumble strips. Currently hooked up to an Xbox One X with a 4K tv but have also had it plugged into a gaming PC.

You built that. 
Damn that's nice. I'd have to have one made.

Very nice, black looks soooo much better.
You did a nice job on that! I assumed it was one of the frames already available to buy. That would be pretty sweet to play the new Forza game in 4K on.

Was this the machine that was in East Chicago? If so, I thought really long and hard about buying it. Figuring out where the hell I was going to put it was the problem lol

He said he built it.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Looks awesome - what are those lights you’ve got going on there?
Combination of Xmas lights around top and a led disco bulb that rotates. Got the bulb for 10 bucks at menards. Similar to one mentioned in post right after yours. Mine is made by sharper image.
Here it is:
It lights up corner nicely, but I’ll need two to cover my area.
Nice selections of pins jsa. Always wanted a future spa and embryon to go with the rest of the Bally wide bodies I had. Only have Hot Doggin and paragon left now.

Nice!! looks great. I really want one of these myself, Skee-ball, whatever, but I never seem to be able to find one.
Quoted from MustangPaul:You built that. Damn that's nice. I'd have to have one made.
Dude! You could build one, it’s in your wheel house 
Quoted from jsa:It's a tight fit, but here's my game room.
Which model lift table are you using? I’m currently shooing around and yours looks reasonably compact.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Dude! You could build one, it’s in your wheel house
I don't have the equipment to work with metal, it's a whole different animal.
Quoted from Spencer:Nice!! looks great. I really want one of these myself, Skee-ball, whatever, but I never seem to be able to find one.
I've been looking for a ski ball for years also
Quoted from andrewket:Which model lift table are you using? I’m currently shooing around and yours looks reasonably compact.
It's a modified Harbor Freight lift table. While the entire thread has many different creative techniques for how to modify it, I went with this one (though my parts were cheaper):

Finally took delivery of all our pins and games.
