Quoted from Beatnik-Filmstar:Amen, man. If anyone ever starts a "Post pics of the corner of the living room where you keep your machines" thread, I'm gonna be the belle of that ball.
Yep I'm in that! Nothing elaborate. Jammed in on one side of my kids games room. Only enough room left for kids to play the PS4. If the PS4 was pinball sized it would be out and there would be another machine wedged in.
Nearly start a fire every time I nudge a machine now!
Quoted from Colsond3:Where are the other four games?
Sadly there's One in a bedroom and three out in the garage.
Quoted from weaverj:guess that TAF is staying awhile .
Funny story.
I posted Taf for sale with some older photos I had on my phone. Went to get some better pics of the playfield which meant shifting three other pins and a couch to get it out and remove the glass. Walked in, surveyed the situation and thought nah too hard. So I pulled the advert and kept it. 
Quoted from ChrisS:Comes on man. Slide that F-14 over with the other sys 11........ Sorry my OCD is overtaking your collection.
Don't worry i have OCD too. I want to have them in groups. If you noticed I had them Bally-Williams-Bally-Williams.....
My collection has changed since that pic too. Playboy out- earthshaker in. So now 4 dmd and 4 sys11s, but it was 4 Bally and 4 Williams. Arghh!!! I'll have to get 2 more Bally's to even it up.
Quoted from RVApinballer:In my house that F14 would have a dart shatter the backglass in no time
The taxi would be in trouble in my house. 
Quoted from RonSS:Don't worry about the window (if that's what you meant), that shade is always closed. Just airing out the sweet smell of toxic stain and "tung oil".
No. I was saying my dart skills are that bad. The only thing safe would be the dart board.
Quoted from chalkup8:With respect Boof -Ed,I wouldn't bother with those covers.Enjoy the visuals of your pins in full.
I got sick of wiping dust off the glass.
It’s easier to do this and take the towels off when I do sit there and admire them, and that happens quite often. I find myself turning them all on and just sitting and admiring the light show with a big smile. 
Quoted from parsonsaj:My modest little gameroom... hope to squeeze at least one more pin in here someday in the not too distant future... (The Galaga sign is NOT crooked! That seems to be an artifact of taking a panoramic picture on my iPhone!)
If you use the window to get in and out, you could probably squeeze two in there I’d say.
Quoted from oldskool1969:Probably the best light and sound show pre DMD or ever!
That one actually looks like my old one which I sold because I am not big on spec themes.
If you sold yours about 10 years ago, it just might be.
Quoted from RyanClaytor:Great collection. How long before you ditch the couch and make room for a few more?
I’m in the process of turning my shed into a games room to give the kids the room back.
Will be able to fit more in there or just have more space between them.
Oh who am I kidding? It’s to get more in!! 
For the past week I’ve turned the shed into my little pin room. Nothing elaborate but I’m extremely happy with it. A space just for me. Finished and moved the pins in today. The shed wasn’t always that untidy. The pics were during the clean out or should I say throw out.

Quoted from mbwalker:Wow, From zero to hero.
Is all the stuff now sitting in the yard covered up?
I culled a lot. I mean a lot and now have a smaller garden shed for what’s left.
After 4 projects arrived its got a little cramped. With 2 more still to come in I think I’m at my limit.

Quoted from YZRider926:So question for you guys that have your machines facing each other. How much room do you have between them? Enough to slide the glass off? Can 2 people play back to back? Or are you just cramming them in there? I’m getting to the point where I’m going to have to do something similar. I’m also hoping to eventually finish my basement and want to get some layout ideas. I have a pretty wide open space currently.
I’m just making the most of the small area I have. I have just enough room to remove the glass. It’s a bit cramped but it’s the difference between getting 15 or 9 into the same area.
For the amount of times there’s more than 2 or 3 people in there it works fine like this.
Quoted from pinballslave:Amazing place! Love the wall decorating playfields. Why don't you turn the Champion Pub and STtnG round 90deg so you can get to them better?
Both not working. That is my work area if you could call it that.
It’s not an elaborate set up. Really just the pins. I did a quick shoot around the other night as it’s changed a bit since my last post.
Quoted from Stebel:Great setup. Really like all the wall art. Now which is your favorite?
Tomcat. Played it as a teen and it’s what got me into pinball. Takes me back to those good times.
Quoted from Chosen_S:Nothing like having 3 Guns N’ Roses ! I guess the whole family wants to play gnr at the same time ? Lol
Yes. The first one you see I got in a trade. Didn’t want it. The guy really wanted my pin I was selling.
Quoted from punkin:I can't do a video like you clever guys, but thought I'd try a slideshow tour of my warehouse.
Hopefully you can follow it.
The outside, what you see is mine, there's a weightlifting gym to the right and a coupole of units down the back where the creek is.

Day room, this is where i sit...welll... during the day. There's always a mate or two drops in, it's a fairly cool place to hang. This is where i rotate the 5 machines.

That poor Walking dead under the skylight. 
Quoted from pinballslave:Nice line-up! What do you find you play the most?
People don’t believe me but F-14 Tomcat. My favourite pin.
Quoted from pinballslave:That's funny... I've never even played that game, never mind owned one... the artwork always put me off.
It’s more nostalgic for me. This is the pin that got me hooked when I was a young teenager in the early 90s. Takes me back to 91 every time I press start.
I like revisiting here every 12 months as I change my collection over a fair bit. Here’s the cave today. Don’t roast me for the Silverball purple backglass. It’s trashed and has so much paint missing that it actually looks better in purple than white until I replace it. Too much light coming through when I’m playing it and as always the camera seems to blow out the colours.
Quoted from fossmin:How many machines would you have to move to get the F14 or Rush out of the room?
I can actually get every game out. It is very tight but achievable.
