Bolted to the floor. A lot of work went into that machine. It even has an original Tollian Web PCB. Such a great game.

Awesome lineup and game room
Question how do you get the glass off running games that tight? Do you lift the pin up and remove them for service ?
Again very epic lineup and nice choice of arcades

Family and friends are into the hobby. I enjoy restoring and they enjoy playing. I am very fortunate.
My wife not only is a good player, she makes some pretty fantastic mods too. Check out post #8801 in the following thread.

Believe it or not the gap between the machines is just enough to get the glass off. Not a problem.
Quoted from Daditude:I was going to show a pic of my meager gameroom, but after going back and browsing through a few posts and seeing xfassa post...i wont bore you all. Well done, sir.
Let's see your collection. Big or small, they are all great! 
Quoted from MustangPaul:can't a married guy have at least one room to himself.
Sure, you bet.
It's called the garage.
Quoted from MustangPaul:can't a married guy have at least one room to himself.
I told my wife that after we buy the next pin, we are going to have to decide which one to sell. She said, "Let's see what else we can get rid of to make more room to keep adding without selling." She used to hoard boxes of old useless crap "we might use one day" that we still haven't gone through ...

I just moved in a few months ago, so this is a work in progress. I have a JP being shipped and i am picking up a HS at the Texas pinball festival.

True but that's not "in" the house. That's where my gr II is.

You may need a house addition soon.

Fantastic collection! I’d have to force-friend you if I lived in your neighborhood

and you can leave the seat UP !
Quoted from bob_e:and you can leave the seat UP !
Truth! lol
So we just moved the pins and a few arcade machines back in after painting a room here. It was a task that I've been dreading for years, but the 18 year old horrendous mint green paint had to be eradicated. I like the new clean look, but my wife and some friends want the stuff that we found and collected back up on the walls. I didn't get any good pics of the before, but it kinda gives you an idea of how much "stuff" there was nailed and screwed to the drywall....

The look is modern and tasteful and, yes...clean.
Unless the sign outside says "Billy's" and your address includes a state hwy, leave well enough alone.

I bet the prep work patching all those holes was just as bad as moving the pins....keep the walls as is. Let the Pins be the decor. If your friends like stuff you took down, sell it all to them and buy another pin with the earnings!!! Haha

He just needs better stuff is all. I suggest staying away from reproduction anything if at all possible, original is always better. Clean is nice but gets boring quick. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I disagree.
Life is a collection of stories, and those walls have a tale to tell.

Please leave the walls clean Stevo-O. Looks great! 
I went from cluttered walls to clean and wont ever look back. With 9 foot ceilings it looks even better. I kept my favorite things and put them in one room. I replaced a lot of the "other" stuff with life sized characters. The most important thing is to enjoy what you have/like.

this is a part of the hobby I've never understood. I've seen a bunch of arcade/pinball people with life size replicas of movie characters all over. There needs to be a thread for people to share their real-sized dolls.
There's even a new arcade opening in Ontario that advertises like 20+ lifesized characters.
Quoted from cait001:There needs to be a thread for people to share their real-sized dolls.
I think you'd have to post those pictures on a different site totally...., I know mine would have to be ......LOL.

Lol, everyone likes different things. That's what makes it exciting.
Quoted from Deaconblooze:That Vaughn jersey is the coolest thing you have. Was it signed with tiger blood?
Lol, wouldn't that just complete the package? That's my second favorite piece, my first is a Drew Brees Helmet signed Drew "cool" Brees and rounding out my top 3 is a signed boxing glove from Mike Tyson with the inscription "baddest man on the planet".
Im always looking for something signed with that personal touch, it can take a while though. My Farve jersey is signed " the gunslinger".

Do you mind me asking what were the around about cost for those life size figures? I got a life terminator earlier this year for my birthday and it is pretty awesome.

I wanted a terminator...They are not cheap.
Quoted from kciaccio:I wanted a terminator...They are not cheap.
They were all gone and my dad had to have it shipped in from Australia for my birthday. You can find them cheaper here in the states but my dad wanted new and make sure I got it. I love it but surprisingly most of guest are not that impressed by it. I would love the life size dead pool to go along with my LE.

Would be in my bedroom!!
They are all around $1K US. The little Groot was a lot less. We actually bought it at the Edmonton Pinball Show and carried it back to the hotel. We stopped at the liquor store and got asked multiple times for photo's with it. I just think they are all fun. The Mars Attacks alien might be a bit creepy to some. 
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:The theater is what I want to see!
I will take some pics...
Spencer Mars Attack is so awesome! Where did you find that?
