Quoted from phillyfan64:Gameroom construction. Anyone care to offer suggestions on how to save this disaster before I have it all ripped out? This is not how you box in duct work. Disgusted.

In that 1st pic it appears that the framing job is going to result in that electrical junction box/service panel being sealed in the wall. IIRC NEC doesn't allow that so you might want to have something done there as well.
Quoted from phillyfan64:Do you mean the cable tv wires on the gray block of wood? That’s actually a storage area under the steps. There will be a door to get in there. If it’s something else please let me know. In the first picture that wire hanging down is actually the flex water line going upstairs to the ice maker. But I should move that now that I see how it is.
As for the soffit apparently he plans to do something called scabbing. I’m not familiar with the technique.

If you've got junction boxes in the ceiling and you've got a drop ceiling going in then you're good. It's about access.
Quoted from phillyfan64:Oh ok. That’s an older picture. It’s already been moved but thank you.
NP!
Quoted from d0n:thanks! the heat is something I've been struggling with for a few years.
I think ultimately, one more 24,000 BTU mini split system would fix this but we don't have 30amps of power for it since all of our 50 games are maxing out our current electrical system.
I'm always surprised at how much heat the neon lights create. Many of the power supplies get so hot you can't touch them for long. Also, fluorescent light ballasts get extremely hot. We had ten, 8 foot long, double bulb fluorescent fixtures (80 feet in total, 40 feet on each side of the ceiling) that we had swapped out to LEDs in an effort to keep the room temp down. Each of the 10 fixtures has a brick sized ballast that literally got so hot you could not touch it. Imagine how much heat 10 ultra hot "bricks" put out?! Changing to LEDs eliminated the ballasts which helped a lot.
I can't find the post now but somewhere (Possibly another forum) there was a discussion of the Pinball Hall Of Fame in Vegas (at least I think it was them) swapping over to LEDs in the games and how much of an impact that had on current draw per game and in building cooling. Not sure if you've changed the games over or not but at 50 games it would effect your current load, heat, and wallet probably equally.
Quoted from ExSquid:Yup![quoted image]
BMX (Woodward PA?), tube socks, arcades, ahh the memories!
Quoted from JeffZee:I suppose there's always room for one more (would still like to fine a nice Road Kings someday), but maybe I'm done. The space is about as crowded as I'd like to see it and I have about as much to maintain as I'm interested in maintaining.

OOH, Champagne edition Fire! NICE!
Quoted from TC-5:Just installed this super rare beast in our home arcade. Daytona USA 3 Deluxe 4 player
Daum... wish there was a way to upvote +10
