Wow, nice variety! It would be fun to line them up in order of year manufactured to see the transition.

Sweet Chicago Band Box! I love those things.

If you knocked out the wall you could turn Royal Guard/Phoenix and slide the old timers up to the back next to them. Put Domino next to Jacks Open and you should be good.

Looks great! If you really got desperate for space you still have that other room with the ping pong table. With a little rearranging you could fit a few in there. Part of the sickness is inventing new space.

Here's a few pics my wife took tonight. My gameroom is constantly evolving. It will probably look different next month.

Thanks! Yep, Skill Roll is a keeper. It's in the bar area.

Thanks Ken! I bought a case of Blatz this weekend. I just got the Blatz sign above the bar last weekend and had never tried the beer. It wasn't bad. Still have 20 of them though...

Thanks! I always envision a heated game of Uno with the family at the antique tavern table but that never happens. We do that upstairs. 14.5' x 22' if I remember right?

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

A few cans of Blatz didn't seem to result in any ill effects. Not my favorite beer by any means but not that bad either.

Thanks! It's my happy place. When my wife works weekends, I rarely leave the house.

Thanks! It's actually a Seeburg 220. Same thing as the 222 with fewer selections. No wall box. Maybe someday. We also have a 1954 Rock-ola 1438 "Comet Fireball" and 1948 Rock-ola 1428 "Magic Glo" upstairs.

I had a 6 pull "junior" model but was missing the base. Couldn't find one and sold it. Regretting that now.

Here's another oddball one I had. It came new in the box but was missing the mechanicals and legs.

Those Stoner candy machines are funny. When I first started going to the Chicagoland show you'd see a bunch of unrestored examples out in the lot for like $250. Then guys starting selling restored models and the cheap projects disappeared. I saw a little old guy in one of the high end restorer's trailer. He had a big wad of cash in his hand and said I'll take that one, that one and that one.

Yes, mine is only about 6' 7". Of course my whole family is fairly short so it doesn't feel that bad. When a tall guest comes is when it's noticeable. And no toppers on games but I'm an EM guy anyway. I wish it were taller but I don't see moving so we deal with it.

Might take one Stampede to tie it up.

It's all relative. I'd have to sell almost everything in the gameroom to get one of those JJP games. Like you though I am still grateful for what I have.

I have one, a 1937 Mills Bursting Cherry. It's fun to give the handle a couple pulls in the morning. I feel like if I hit it's going to be a good day. Plus as also mentioned it's a historical piece of mechanical ingenuity.

If you like the feeling of hearing the knocker crack on a replay pinball at home, you will probably also like a slot machine.

I'm not into modern stuff but believe the draw for later slots is interactive gameplay and theme. Plus maybe your friends like to gamble at your house. The house always wins but fun to try just like a casino. I'm sure in most places though that isn't legal.

You're a man of many talents Punkin.

Wow, that is a work of art.

My wife has wanted a dart board for along time. They are too tall for my game room's short ceiling. Recently a good friend had one that he had just gone through. Why not the garage she said? Good idea. Also a nice place to display some garage appropriate decor. Nothing too fancy and a work in progress. It's been fun though as she's been pretty excited about it.

Yes two KV75s. My dad was a Kawasaki dealer from around 1968-1981. The Sun Drop machine was in his shop during that time. He had a Williams Grand Prix also. Spent a lot of Saturdays hanging with him, drinking Sun Drop, playing pinball and riding mini-bikes on the test track.
