This thread is full of awesomeness every time I come in!
I haven’t posted for a couple years, so here’s my hockey themed pinball arcade in its current state.
The penalty box gate is the entrance to the shooting room for the boys to fire pucks inside.
And the bench in front of the pins is for getting dressed to go skate on the backyard rink (in the last pic) it’s the only pic without a pin in it

Cam....

Cam you tell me about that Road show pin? I used to work in heavy highway construction so that theme interests me.

That’s some of the coolest shit I’ve ever seen! You have your own rink and Zamboni along with a collection of awesome machines. I almost forgot about the penalty box!!!!!!

Wow, can I make my first Canadian trip to your house to experience the epicnesss? Truly an awesome space well done

You could always take that ceiling down and paint the joists flat black, that would really give you an open feeling.....and you'd be able to lift the pf's up then.

Spectacular.. as always, Cam!

Thanks guys! It’s been many years in the making.

davijc02 anytime!

I can’t know if I am more envious of the games that some people own or the space they have to install them!

Hey Cam, looking good as always. See you took the giant poker table out. Good call. Also the rink and zamboni are over the top Cool! Your kids and their friends must be over all the time?!? The translite collage over the windows is a great idea. Going to steal that one

Now you just need to sell me your ES so I can come down and be amazed in person

I didn't know Zamboni made an attachment for the tractor. That is sic.

That's all I remember seeing clearing the ice between games when I played in my glory days in rural Canada. None of them fancy zamboni's

Cam - Your entire setup is epic & absolutely worthy of a double post!! I enjoyed scrolling through those pics twice

Well done!

So awesome! Please adopt me. That is sick you have indoor shooting, a rink, and everything is so cool I almost forgot about all the great pins. I just saw this the other day.

Took a while to hang it, there are three pieces of pipe going through the tile, and screwed into the top side of the flanges, had fun lining all that up. Be sure to snap a picture of yours when completed.

I feel so sorry for you . Awesome room has everything I would want.

+1...drummermike your space is awesome. My basement was light color panel boards and a low drop ceiling, tore it all out and painted joists flat black with drywalls. Just removing that ceiling would really modernize it and open it up, wood walls can stay.

Thanks Jay! Yes the poker table finally had to go to make more room for pins. Totally, the kids live on the rink for hours and hours everyday! Haha, I figured I would give it a try and see if it looked good...

I knew they made the large version for a full sized tractor since the 70’s, but I had no idea they made the small tractor version for smaller rinks until last year. Then I had to find one!!

Haha thank you!!

Thanks!! My wife thinks I’m crazy, but I know she secretly loves it.

So then you're saying your game room can't be topped.

Spectacular comes to mind Cam, great fun and very cool, love your back yard we historically have done the same...but I just don’t feel like doing it this year as we were only able to skate on the rink twice all winter last year and didn’t want to,through another roll,of poly and work effort for a couple of days on the ice. And so,instead I bring the snow blower to Our lake and clear a rink.

Quick question on your game roomyour signature says 23 pins but it looks like you have more?

Thanks for sharing!

Requis Thank you very much.
Yes the rink is definitely a ton of work, but we use it a ton. Thankfully we’ve been on it for 2 months already this year!
Nice, having a lake is much less work, lol.
The pinside collection is up to date, the only pin in the pics that’s not here anymore is Space Jam. Just the Chexx and vids are not listed... There are 25 machines in the basement and 4 in the garage.

Bonzo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The beams are right above the tiles. I would only gain an inch or two. It is full of insulation, wires and plumbing. It would be a lot of work to make it look good. I just move a tile to the side to lift the pf.

I love my room but after looking at all the others on this thread I know there are better!

Im in the same boat. Have a whirlwind and they only time I have the fan on it is when its at Expo.

I totally agree! Fantastic rooms. That penalty box is great.

Thank You for Sharing! Great space and looks awesome too!

We just got a new Super Chexx pro...and not the same...I miss the Boo button! lol

jar155

The donkey Kong decal on your wall is awesome! Where did you get it?

The penalty box is where the kids have to go when they misbehave, right?

I see, bummer.

Thanks. The kids love it, and use it year round to work on their shot, and stick handling.

You bet, thanks for the kind words! Ha! The boo button is a great feature.

Haha. Not yet, but I may have to utilize that in the future as they get older, and I can rig it up to only open from the outside

I looked at the pics before reading what you had written. I was thinking that's a nice collection with some great games! Then i saw the hockey room, the Zamboni and the rink and was blown away. That is awesome!
The kids would love that and no doubt it would get so much use.
I wish we could do things like that here in Australia!

Haven't posted pics in a while so here is my basement. Some screen used costumes, movie props and sports memorabilia.

How do you play PAC-MAN?

Man.... can I live in your basement? I can sleep on the floor and I'll work for you to pay the rent!

Chanman poker table @apollyon? Great room!

The arcades are getting squeezed! Pac Man getting lonely....

Wow Ron, it looks unreal down there! A solid mix of cool stuff, well done.
Very cool. I’m going to have to pm you to find out more about the screen used stuff

Haha. Thank you!!

Modest but still a great space!

Thanks! And yes Chanman. He is the best. Awesome quality and he is not happy until you are happy. Highly recommended.

Thanks Cam. Much appreciated. I loved the pics of your place too. Motivated me to take some new ones of mine. Send me a note and I can let you know about the props / costumes.

WTFWOW.

Thanks!

Here you go. Game was a Bobby Orr Power play. Bruins also has a wav trigger board with real in game call outs.

Super cool! Could be cooler if it was a Sharks pin!

That Bruins re-theme is impressive! Did you do it yourself?

OMG!!! I just watched a video of it on YouTube that thing is super sick. The game call outs and music just amazing.

Here's my man cave.
