Keep at it and you'll eventually take it all over! I did the same thing over the years and now have the entire basement jammed with 25 pins and arcades 
Quoted from Vic_Camp:What size,model and manufactured is the pool table?
8 foot "The Hustler" by Western Billiards probably the late 60's. My grandparents bought it new.

Likely was modeled after the one Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman shot on in the movie, "The Hustler" .
^^^^Haha I had to squint for a minute there, I was like is that chic just sitting there nude in the booth? My inner Quagmire came out-Gigidy Gigidy
Quoted from mnroadking:My gameroom after fire and after restoration
Awsome looks like the same building newly redone. Where you able to save any of your game's?
Saved the pinball machines, nothing else worth the effort. Same shop, new insulation, walls, ceiling, electrical, etc. That was pretty much my summer.
The pinball corner of my game room. Room for one more real machine to the right of my mini. The middle is the outstanding Pinball FX3 on the Nintendo Switch that supports portrait mode on the console docked or undocked. The removable joy cons really complete the package rather than having a traditional controller. I need to get a better stand though to highlight the GBA Pokémon Pinballs and DS Metroid Prime Pinball. Also got a handheld Pinbot I need room for.

I don't know man, looks like room for three more pins to me. Sell that other stuff.

Is that an actual TZ Translite on the wall?
Quoted from SDTMinSTL:I love this thread. I get some really great ideas from it. I Thought I'd throw mine out there.
Looks like a great space to hang out in... and a terrific collection. Is that a secondary display of iScored? Or are you using a touchscreen display?
Thanks for sharing.
Quoted from Pinzap:Looks like a terrific collection.
Your own collection is pretty nice, too. But I don't think your wish list is long enough.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words.
Its my main display in my setup, sort of. It is an extra flat screen that I had, equipped with a Intel Compute Stick and a cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Scores can either be entered there or I also have a Tablet that we move from game to game and use for score entry more than half the time. I'm entertaining the idea of a touch screen mounted somewhere but really like how easy it is to read and it has become a HUGE hit with the neighborhood kids and my friends to be able to try to best their own high score...regardless of their skill level.
Quoted from littlecammi:Your own collection is pretty nice, too. But I don't think your wish list is long enough.
Too funny. I actually hadn't looked at it in a long time and I think I had just been clicking "add to my wishlist" whenever a game I saw caught my attention. That way I get notification for marketplace ads. But I definitely need to (and will right now) clean it up a bit, as some of those original attention getters turned out to be turds after I played them a few times. Thanks for the reminder.
Quoted from Bos98:My son has some friends over and they wanted nothing to do with any of his toys!
My daughter asked me to make it so her friends couldn't play during her birthday party.
I didn't.
They did.
Quoted from ryan1234:I love this thread but have never posted pics- untill today!
Nice set up Ryan, It's changed a lot since I was there a couple years ago.........you want to sell the skill roll?
Quoted from Boof-Ed:Never thought I'd get this many in this room. Extensions needed for any more I think.
Comes on man. Slide that F-14 over with the other sys 11........ Sorry my OCD is overtaking your collection. 
Quoted from ChrisS:Comes on man. Slide that F-14 over with the other sys 11........ Sorry my OCD is overtaking your collection.
Don't worry i have OCD too. I want to have them in groups. If you noticed I had them Bally-Williams-Bally-Williams.....
My collection has changed since that pic too. Playboy out- earthshaker in. So now 4 dmd and 4 sys11s, but it was 4 Bally and 4 Williams. Arghh!!! I'll have to get 2 more Bally's to even it up. 
Quoted from mainelycoasters:Here you go day before tourney and ready to rock and roll!
Let's see some pics of that Bruins machine pls!
I guess compared to other rooms on here I will call mine the mini game room. here is a picture of about half, need to put stuff in the other half.
My wife made the light fixture from black pipe and fittings. you can not tell, but the light bulbs are those Edison style led bulbs. she has some skinny bulbs that look like old time radio and tv tubes, we went with just the round ones here.

I love vintage pool tables.....nice that it was your grandparents and is still in the family.
My father bought a used 1890's 4 1/2ft by 9ft Brunswick pool table back in the late 1940's or early 1950's and I don't have it but my cousins do.
The good thing is I got to use it at my grandmothers house in the 1960's to 1980's.
Quoted from zpinman370:Working on a bit of a game room as well- still lots to do and need more pins

Great start, most don't even have a gameroom and as much as I love pinball the super chexx steals the show for head to head fun.

That's back when Brunswick was really Brunswick producing
Top Notch Tables here in America..
Biscarrosse
This is by far the best thread here.
Hope to shoot some pics in a couple of months and post them there.

I love the pipe light fixtures. That was my lighting choice in my game room as well.
I wish I had more ceiling height. No toppers!

Quoted from drummermike:I wish I had more ceiling height. No toppers!
Are you able to lift your playfields for maintenance?
Quoted from drummermike:I wish I had more ceiling height. No toppers!
I just tore down all the wood paneling in my basement, it was painted baby blue. The bright red wallpaper was a nice surprise under that.
Quoted from drummermike:I wish I had more ceiling height. No toppers!
Sick space! So inviting, love the panelling. Man, your gameroom is bigger than my house haha.
Quoted from Nokoro:Are you able to lift your playfields for maintenance?
I can put them all the way up if I take out the ceiling tiles. The DE back boxes are tight to the ceiling!

I think you should add a Big Guns to your collection 
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:Sick space! So inviting, love the panelling. Man, your gameroom is bigger than my house haha.
I love the paneling also. It is real wood not printed. My wife wanted to paint it white. We agreed the cave was mine and upstairs was hers. It is dark but I just can't paint the wood! My first house was tiny. No pins there.
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:I think you should add a Big Guns to your collection
I am getting Houdini as soon as they ship. I stumbled onto a 1958 Double Action that I may wedge in next to Houdini. Have to move the slots to make room.
Quoted from drummermike:I wish I had more ceiling height. No toppers!
Nothing wrong with a Topless game room.
Quoted from zpinman370:Working on a bit of a game room as well- still lots to do and need more pins
Nice heads up challenge! How long have you had it, did you buy it at the recent auction player 1 had a couple go up, great start to your game room!
I’m trying to get one in January,
Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:Rschuetter, that is an amazing sit down driver. Exactly what I'd like to do but I don't have any idea how to build one. Is there a good site that I can go to in order to get better educated on building a wicked sit down driver?
Any help would be appreciated.
QSS
A couple sites are out there that don’t look all that great. If you pm me I can send some pics and dimensions / build notes. Really pretty easy to do. The aluminum cuts really easily with a good multi-material blade. The rest was just getting the right connectors and brackets. Got everything I needed off of eBay.
Quoted from gweempose:Sweet dart board!
Of all the things, the dartboard gets the most use when people are over. The color screen is a big help to drawing people in to play. A ton of fun.
