And the arcade conversion continues, turning Grandpa's photography-studio-turned-computer-room into an arcade and service area as the house becomes mine. Starting to take shape, bit by bit. The central desk went through a struggling journey up the stairs, where it now sits in the living room - soon to be tabletop gaming room. With the computer room space cleared, I've moved three of the games in - Volcano Blast from where I posed it in the library for a day, and TZ and RS. I am now fully convinced that TZ is the heaviest machine I own.

Yes, I know there are windows. Yes, I will be addressing that. Either UV film or just blocking them off.
On the other side is a huge mess so far - need SOME place to drop all my stuff as it gets moved, after all - but slowly my service counter is coming together. I put up a shelf for parts organizers. It doesn't match the white shelf on the next wall, but later on I will take it down and paint it, perhaps round off the corners to match the style.

There is space to clear in the workshop room as well, and now I'm thinking I will have enough shallower wall space in there to leave folded-up games yet to be serviced. Since like half of my machines are working right now, that would be a good place for them.
