Quoted from JustLikeMe:

It's been a long time coming, but I can finally contribute to this thread. Moved earlier this year to a house which had an outbuilding that had previously been used as a workshop - wasn't much to look at, but it had three phase electric and running water at least:

I immediately saw the potential for a pin room - I'm just lucky my wife liked the house attached - and got to work on it a couple of months ago. Building work finished last week, and I moved the machines in this week. Incredibly happy with the outcome.

Quoted from billsfanmd:May be building a beach house Prob have a 7 pin arcade. What electrical service upgrade should I ask the electrician? Dedicated service for wall outlets? Thx for any help if you have done electrical in your gameroom.

Quoted from ramegoom:

I have had success running seven machines (built from 1992 thru to 2019) on a single 20 amp circuit. However, they all have either been 100% converted or are factory fitted with LEDs throughout. Originally didn't plan to have this many pins, but you all know how they multiply.....
Converting to LEDs reduces the electrical load to somewhere around 35-40% on each machine. I have never had an issue or blown breaker running them all at once. But if you have new construction, now is the time to add extra circuits. I put all of the outlets 48 in. off the floor in order to hide the electrical cords.
Thinking about it, I also have a 50s juke box, couple of neon signs, and a crane game on this same circuit. I know I'm pushing it to the limit.
If I did it again, I'd split the machines into at least two and preferably three circuits.

Quoted from CoachBacca:

Hey man awesome game room but this is pinside, you gotta at least include a pin row pic.

Here is my Humble game room =)
I converted 2/3 of my garage to a game room/ theater room with 120 inch Short throw laser projector.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Zartan:

Fix it Felix! Is it original?! Where did you find one?! I have to get one! I’m going to have to hide these pictures from the better half! When she sees the floor I will be forced into the same thing! Lol

Quoted from Rscontrino:Disney made about 20 of them for promotion and the parks, they also gave a few away for a contest. They show up on eBay every once in a while but for ridiculous amounts of money. They made them out of Donkey Kong cabinets.
This is a replica that I put together, but I bought the artwork off someone who scanned the original so it’s very accurate. It also has the original Fix it Felix application that Disney used.
It was a fun project finding the cabinet, applying the artwork, wiring up my control panel Jamma to PC, finding a graphics card that would out put to a super low resolution to a CRT etc [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Looks amazing! I need to work where you work so I can get a few more pins!which coleco tabletop is that?

Quoted from Malenko:

The one on the shelf is a Ms.Pacman , I also have scramble , a sears driving , and a few others. They are still neat to this day, but I'm apprehensive about letting my 2yr old play with them. I have more vids behind the shelf and furnace and she loves smashing the buttons on them

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

LOL no doubt about that. I built my kid a 15x15 space in our basement so he can practice hockey and occasionally soccer. It’s double-netted and has walls for goals. Anyway, he is supposed to drop the nets when he’s down there - the space is right next to the game room.
I’m down in the game room yesterday and a soccer ball comes flying through the “goal” and I hear something hit the floor. He’s kicked the ball RIGHT through the space - nets not dropped, and cleaves off the key to my EHOH. The head is on the floor, the rest of the key STILL in the lock. Ay ay ay

How do you like the polished concrete as floors in CO? Just thinking about options for when we finish our basement.

Quoted from Zartan:

Looks like epoxy.

Quoted from ramegoom:

Actually it's polyaspartic. Starts with a base "binder" coat, then the 2-part Polyaspartic material goes over it. Also, there's about 200 lbs. of aluminum flakes added to that mix to give it the silver appearance.
They trowel it on, exposing some of the black base coat, then spritz it with acetone in places to cause the "cloud" swirl appearance.
Very cool floor, heavy duty, can withstand heavy machines dragged across it. Better choice than epoxy since it cures fast and I didn't have to abandon the house for days - very low odor when it's curing.

Quoted from John_C:Hope you don't mind me jumping in. I'm in Colorado Springs and in the process of finishing my basement. One of the biggest questions I had was how I was going to finish the floor. I researched carpeting options, LVP, epoxy, etc. In the end I felt all those options were too expensive for a basement (I'm a cheapskate) so I decided on doing it myself using a blend of two acid stain colors followed by a couple of coats of acrylic sealer. It took an incredible amount of back-breaking labor but the results were worth it to me. I think it looks bitchin'. Total cost was about $600 in materials.
