Quoted from RyanClaytor:

I figured that's the case with most of us.

Nice to hear I'm not the only case. *LOL*

Ha-ha! Wow, those are mighty kind words. Thanks a lot, jhanley!

Thanks, jeffspinballpalace!

I'd imagine you'd need a healthy amount of room on either side of the foosball table...probably a little more than I'd be willing to give up...but I do love me some air-hockey. Might have to look into cost/dimensions of that sometime in the future.

I'm not trying to be snarky here, but I honestly can't tell if you're being serious. Ha-ha! I'm not a big fan of "salon style" gallery spaces (where the art literally covers every inch of the wall and is all jammed together). I prefer giving each piece a bit of breathing room and keeping them all at a 58" center-line (eye-height) for easy viewing. ...but that's just my preference. To each their own, and thanks for the suggestions.

Seriously. Lots of great inspiration and supportive comments. Favorited some time ago.

Wow. Never used that, but gotta look into it. Great tip.

This is another great suggestion, although the one draw-back might be that there's a bit of a learning curve, whereas I suspect the aforementioned Autodesk Home Styler gets you up and styling a little quicker (just from the looks of it). With all that said, Google Sketch-up has a ton of YouTube vids to get you started and I used G.S.U. to model my pinball room before we even purchased our home! Ha-ha! I wanted to figure out how many machines I could comfortable fit. Here is my render:

As you can see, it's pretty easy to get some different vantage points once your model is complete. (Not sure whether or not Autodesk has this capability, having never used it.) Anyhow, you can click on this link ( https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/lets-see-pic-of-games-rooms/page/67#2102102 ) to jump to my previous post and see the actual photos of the space in it's current iteration.
Best,

Quoted from daveispinball:

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!

Quoted from Waldo:

Then if you can figure out how to operate the secret door it reveals the rest of the Waldoplex.

Quoted from jorge5240:

Ice hoops effects. It was the only one heightwise that would fit. I was concerned it was going to be too small but it has worked out great.
If you order new, you can get any custom graphics college or pro. I emailed them on a weekend when I was interested and one of the owners emailed me back. He made sure things were all good through the whole purchasing process. I thought that was pretty cool!
Somehow I don’t see Gary Stern checking in on me! Lol

Quoted from Lymes:

I have the black lights installed on the tops and bottoms of the walls which gives surprisingly good coverage. There's optional sizes for different areas referenced in the amazon link I purchased from:
