Quoted from Max_Badazz:

Was there any kit you needed to use or an adapter? One of my monitors is starting to go on my Rush's and would eventually like to replace with LCD

Quoted from Goronic:

Replacing CRT's with LCDs cause two problems for me:
1. Not authentic looking, color isn't as vibrant (including super dark blacks)
2. (typically) not 4:3 ratio like the CRTs typically are. (Not sure if RUSH is using 4:3 format or not)
But the pros are:
1. Cheaper (usually)
2. Lighter - working with CRTs that are heavy sometimes take more than 1 to mount/replace. Heavy little suckers.

Here are more pics and a vid. I saw his post last year... amazing!

Quoted from MustangPaul:

Yeah it all depends on where ya live. How big is your apt?

Quoted from pinnyheadhead:

What is the deal with the vids on the wall?

Quoted from Indypin:

Whoever wet themselves after watching the vid on RotoDave's post, please raise your hands and upvote this post. #holding hands with NPO as we jump off the bridge while munching on cyanide tablets#

Quoted from DaWezl:

I'm finally starting to set up the game room, woohoo!
We installed the one set of tentacles a couple weeks ago--still have two more to put up--and got the seating area set up last Sunday. Plenty of space for GB when it gets here, and then...?

Quoted from NPO:

I remember everyone told me my pool table would be gone. I told them: "Don't think so..."

I aim to make sure I am not wrong .

Quoted from pinzrfun:

Kinda hard to see, but we got red brick paneling from Menards to use on 2 walls and hung the "PINBALL ALLEY" sign there.... have gotten many compliments on the brick...

Quoted from KingBW:

Pull the trigger on that WOZ!

Quoted from Colsond3:

Paul, you really need some lights and color in that room. It looks so plain.
Awesome room man.

Quoted from volkdrive:

Getting everything cleaned up for league/club party this Saturday, my father in law and I ran sub panel so each machine gets its own outlet. Additionally a cable line and network cable so TV on wall has full access to all our music, movies and cable programming. TV is not pictured, but is above fridge to right of IJ93. Pins are also split up due to room, but it gives us pinball on upper, main, and basement. RFM cab has SWE1 in right now, I have new PF for RFM so that is next project.

Quoted from AlexSMendes:

I'm actually thinking about covering my walls with some bricks or wood vintage/old style wallpaper!

Quoted from KingBW:

I can't post a pic in a pm to you, so wondering if a used WOZ slot that goes under this topper and behind this surround is as much as the WOZ pin, or is it more reasonable? I didn't find one on the forum that you reference. You can pm me with any info or suggestions to not take this thread off topic. I have a similar IM slot topper too.

Quoted from vwallat99:

Thought I'd share this with you guys. This is the reason why I got into pinball. Picture of my old man back in 1990 in his gameroom and a present day picture of myself yesterday. The same Centaur II btw!

Quoted from BudManPinFan:

Great looking space! Are the Tron, Hobbit and Avengers posters just regular ones that are backlit or are they special types?

Quoted from freezie:

looks good goronic , but i have to ask if they had a sale on fittings when they did your furnace ? lol.

Quoted from Pintucky:

I LOVE that color you painted the walls. I'm calling it 'beet'. Makes the room look RICH!
Great job on the make-over. Lot's of work. I know. Because I've done it myself too. But sure is rewarding when you are done!!!

Quoted from djreddog:

Make a trip up to northern DE, Total Wine sells it.

Quoted from heni1977:

That carpet really ties the room together!

Man I miss my salt water tank
Did you go with the eco system? If I was to get another one that's what I would do!

Quoted from KingBW:

Great looking space for family fun! Plenty of room for that WOZ that you want ... or is it DI now? Awesome Iron Man bust, and I know you have the Weta Smaug head there somewhere too! Very classy and tastefully done.

Quoted from taz:

Mine is still a work in progress. It's kind of Marvel meets Walking Dead.

Quoted from LynnInDenver:

Go ahead and pick it up. Do be careful of local laws on it, though; here in Colorado, for instance, individuals are only allowed to own pre-1984 slot machines (basically old physical reel types, the exception for "vintage collectors"), the idea being that it eliminates the defense of "it's my private collection" when they go after illegal gambling operations. Some states don't have any restrictions, and a few states ban private ownership completely.
It doesn't mean they'll come knocking, but it is something to keep in mind, particularly when you have regular gaming parties.

Quoted from DJNOEL30:

Moved the games around in the loft. How does it look? Total Nuclear Annihilation will be joining the collection in May!

Quoted from PhilGreg:

Finished restoring my BOPP (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/bobby-orrs-power-play-from-scrapper-to-power-player) and now it's back in the lineup.

Quoted from mmuglia:

LOL...ordered them last night along with lollipop side rails and a glare guard. I have 5 pins totaling 10 pingulp holders...and rarely more than three people in the gameroom. It's more for the uniform look rather than functionality.

Quoted from bicyclenut:

I forgot to turn on the Arcade games.

Quoted from dudah:

Closed on my first house yesterday! Complete with a whole basement to fill with toys. Coming from a small 600 sq. ft. city apartment, very excited to have some space to stretch out! Moving next week, look for some updates soon!

Quoted from jsa:

The room is definitely a step in the right direction.

Quoted from jorge5240:

My sons was a little scared of endo. So we gave him some style.
Hopefully once I get the Gp set up today I will take some pics of the new set up.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Don’t Sheetrock the ceiling - just spray flat black (really you should use a tone of black with a bit of the wall color mixed in, which helps to deaden light reflection). I really like the industrial look and the ceiling just disappears. Everybody says make the ceiling white, if it’s black the ceiling will make you feel claustrophobic- the exact opposite is true. White ceiling is very noticeable and distracting, black ceiling just disappears

Quoted from MustangPaul:

Cool, look at that hair. But where's the girl?

Quoted from brad808:

As always it's a work in progress but this is where my room is at now

Quoted from airplanequartet:

This is what a game “room” looks like when you have a 1450sq ft house...

Quoted from kciaccio:

TNA looks so small..lol

Quoted from imagamejunky:

I moved a few games around in the gameroom today and turned them on so I thought I would post a pic.
Guess I like toppers!
POTC LE will be here in a week with another topper!

Quoted from xsvtoys:

Klipsch - that's doing it right. I have all Klipsch in wall and in ceiling in the living room theater. It cranks.

Quoted from Rondogg:

$10k of audio/video equipment and a $10 tv tray under your turntable? Are you being ironic?

Quoted from drsojo:

Here's some PG rated "different kinda' gameroom" pics from 20 miles away from the eastern eye wall of hurricane Michael. Baby Pac I'm currently working on is in the back left of first pic. BPM and a Teed Off got the worst damage. Under the sheet rock on pic 2 from left to right were, Teed Off, Cue Ball Wizard, Golden Tee, Addams Famiy, Twilight Zone, Junkyard, and Kiss. The sheet rock actually helped ramp off some of the water. Pic 3 is a Roadshow, multi arcade, Strange Science, Stern Playboy and a Bally Playboy. All but Junkyard and Roadshow were refurbed within the last 18 months. The scene was heartbreaking, but all these machines fired up and went into attract with the exception of Teed Off and BPM. Strange Science, Stern Playboy and Bally Playboy lost all paint on backglass.
Compared to some, blessed beyond belief. Thank you Lord.

How often do you get a poker game going?

Quoted from Deaconblooze:

Question - are basements typical in North Carolina?

Quoted from JohnVee:

Is that a California House bar? I'm thinking of getting one of those as well.
Nice setup you have there!

Quoted from KingBW:

Ummmmmm … where's that Weta Smaug bust that I'm jealous of?

Quoted from abracadabra:

Ditto... those backlit posters look great!

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

I haven’t tried the Pi. I went with an Asus Vivo Stick ($100) and the MoviePoster App ($10). It’s really nice in that the software has a web based configuration option. So I can control the app from any device in my house.

Quoted from AvngRHulk:

I’m jealous of everyone’s game room, soo many pins. Here’s mine though

Quoted from vwallat99:

Got the new pool table set up along with a pub table and stools. I think this is a wrap for now![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from ToucanF16:

Agree. A rich man's house. Lots of stuff, but no good stuff (pins!)

Quoted from mollyspub:

Looks like you could fit a few more games by the stairs!

Quoted from Reznnate:

Don't really have cold winter nights in my neighborhood. But covers help limit dust. Dust negates the benefit of invisi-glass.

Quoted from adborto:

Moved a few games around and started to expand into the garage. My Daughter loves the Wonka movies and she is learning how to play now! Pretty awesome to see her getting into the hobby. Didn’t think that Wonka would be as fun as it is. Great addition to the lineup. The wine is for my wife putting up with my crazy hobby (even though she secretly enjoys the arcade)![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:

Haha! Nice!
I did that as well!
The storage space under the stairs, took the door off, put the arcade on wheels.

Quoted from Hench4Life:

It’s metal slug, don’t remember which version. Classic shoot em up, play them in my RaPi all the time.

Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:

I should get the kids to try Metal Slug tho!
I bet they would like it.

Quoted from SNES:

Not sure about MB but I read that they are planning to do another run of MM in early 2023. I’m eagerly waiting!

Quoted from dirkdiggler:

I just noticed the car. Lol.

Quoted from Dan1733:

So the batcave is insane. That much is indisputable. But you have what, 350k, in pins? Give or take? And they live in the garage? Inches from the supercar?

Quoted from daveyvandy:

Carpet also helps greatly reduce the noise if that's an issue for others in the house.
