Aren't you glad you opted not to meet the seller?

Quoted from toyotaboy:I don't know why anyone decides wood paneling is a good idea, I suppose it's just laziness.
It all depends on the application 
I ripped out the old knotty pine paneling in my basement and replaced it with drywall. That being said I would love to have something like this one day if I can afford it. Love the look when its done right and with top notch materials.

Hey now! I used it in my game room (see several pics earlier in this thread) because I like it a lot better than just paint. And people seemed to like my game room.
Quoted from littlecammi:I used it in my game room (see several pics earlier in this thread) because I like it a lot better than just paint
I meant "just" wood paneling against studs with nothing behind it, and I mean the crappy looking 70's wood paneling.
Quoted from dothedoo:I doubt there's a baseball game on that tape
haha, yeah. I am curious to see what kind of 70's porn they had. Now I just need to find a VCR lol
But the good news is, all the wood panels and crap is now ripped out.
Just got done making some new additions with the racers and a shuffle alley. Crammed in there nicely!
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:Aren't you glad you opted not to meet the seller?
Well, we ripped out all the hack job cabinets. Under one of the base boards..... I found bloody panties!!! yeah.... Awkward!
Uggh.....that's disgusting. You might want to research all the previous owners. Sounds like one is a child molestor.
Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:my collection has grown so fast since getting into pinball that it has now overflowed into the living room as well

Time for a bigger house. 
Maybe one with a basement.

Nice. I wish I had that much height for toppers and stuff. Paint the walls and ceiling flat black and start adding neon's and stuff.
Perth - West Aus
Quoted from rollinover:nice looking lineup
Thanks. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get all the other pins inside from the garage without my wife noticing.
My game room started off as a bedroom with a small walk-in closet. And a sledge hammer...
IMG_20141112_190440_107.jpg
Then I removed and rebuilt the rear wall for another small chunk of space. I didn't want to dip into my pinball fund so I reused to old wood where I could.

The interior wall was loadbearing to I used hurricane clips to attach new ceiling joist runs to a new beam I put in and bolted them to the rafters.

After a bit of sheetrock, paint and time here is the (almost) complete result:

Now I just have to figure out how to get this beast upstairs and set it next to POTO...

Dang that's a lot of work but you did it yourself and saved a lot of money. Looks like only room for 3 games but it's a nice movie room too with a BIG screen. Well done.

Very classy. I was in Frederic back in '07 an made a video program of the 8th Annual Frederic Celtic Festival. My good buddy Joe is head of the Scottish clan. It's a 3 dvd set, I had 4 camera crews and we covered everything. The big bagpipe band really is some great video and the Scottish games are really something to see. The video sold rather well.

Nice tmnt. I want that game bad. Now just get the steelers stuff outta there, and it will look really nice. I kid I kid.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Nice tmnt. I want that game bad. Now just get the steelers stuff outta there, and it will look really nice. I kid I kid.
My TMNT is a prototype with a captive on the top left of the playfield. Only one other that I know exists.
Yeah yeah... I feel like covering up all that Steelers stuff after blowing the season... If you're going to lose, you might as well angle for a draft pick...
Wow I can't believe there's another Atlas in Frederick, I have a buddy also named Dave that has 2 Gottlieb Atlas in Fredrick

Well how small a world could that be? The Atlas is really my Dad's. Some of the plastic has started to burn through so a while ago I went on search of parts and machines and couldn't find that anyone at all had one of these or one in a 'graveyard' to get parts from! Three in DC Metro is crazy!

Sounds like you guys should get together and have plastic sets made. Split 3 ways it might not be to bad.

I bought an Atlas early last year. The playfield is in pretty good shape but all of the plastics were warped pretty bad and the graphics were flaking off. I have been looking for someone else that had one to see if I could get a decent scan of the slingshot plastics and the center plastic. Any chance you help me out, no hurry.
Awaiting their turn in the lime light of the upstairs gameroom. I had a downstairs gameroom too that fit 8 more but had to get rid of my paid storage space so now at maximum capacity and downstairs gameroom is now storage for a while until a sell a few games to make room again. Only room to set up 12 maximum at a time. I rotate them around as they all are keepers. Each has their dance in the sun. =)
Quoted from MustangPaul:Nice row, they look mint. Now where are the other 44.
Quoted from Daniml:About time we saw part of Dr. Dave's collection! Show us what's in your workshop?
I've been busy. =)
Working on 3 at a time as usual. Flash Gordon, Galaxy and Bally Rolling Stones (Scrubbing down/prepping for touch ups and clear coat)

Only three at a time? Slacker!

Will definitely see what I can do. Let me see what is intact and not. Perhaps we can also see what this other guy has in Frederick as well. WildWilly's.... does he have a pinside ID?

No he's not on pinside that is his only game. he's had one for many years and we found the second one at the York show a few years ago. pinball rescue does have the plastics on their list to be made so if enough people email them maybe they will get bumped up the list.
