    Alright finally got that pesky craps table moved a 3rd time in two years and still able to maximize room for the most pins AND balance them out with (hopefully) enough power distribution on the basement breakers.

    Quoted from gorditas:

    I finished my basement over the winter. The gameroom/bar turned out great. Of course now I wish I had made more room for pins. "Two is plenty, right?" I've already made one swap.
    [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    I like cards, poker etc, but you could move that table into the kitchen (upstairs) and fit (what looks like) 3 or 4 more games there.

    You did a great job with the bar.

    #15672 3 years ago

    As long as we're talking about framing things and bars I need to get on with my hanging in the basement bar area with this Tapper piece I (roughly) framed last year....

    I've seen a sign like that that says "Sorry, we're drunk". Honestly I think yours is a more classy/ presentable version.

    Things are a little chaotic now with more games coming in and trying to make space for more....

    Quoted from Dan1733:

    There is still some candy in the machine if you need energy to move the games around.

    I’d be going after the beer first

    Quoted from mbrave77:

    Already been discussed with the wifey(she hates my pinball obsession and doesnt like pool either).

    I think we can determine what REALLY needs to go.

    Naw, but I was able to take my pool table apart and sandwich it between 3 pins and the wall. Used some foam packing to make sure the wall stays safe.

    Basement still an organized mess.

    Quoted from Motorcitypinball:

    I almost forgot these custom flipper Bar door/Drawer handles/knobs
    [quoted image]

    This would be a lot of work and a little pain, but it would be fun if those actually flipped and have them wired up to some push buttons on the counter. You wouldn't even need full strength flipper coils either.

    I also gave up on trying to take pics and was playing around with the 4K settings on my phone and made this:

    Quoted from Boof-Ed:

    Well that’s it. I’m at capacity now! Not sure what I’ll do when GnR finally gets here.

    I’ve been forced to put a few games into storage position. It’s a little heartbreaking but at least I am not forced to sell them.

    I hope you don’t mind I photoshopped some people into your game room pic.

    Quoted from punkin:

    The ones on top of the machines?

    Haha no I was standing back there and remembered Tim took a picture of his lineup in this thread recently. I didn’t have time to look it up but was trying to stand in the same spot he took the picture when nobody was playing them.

    #17612 2 years ago
    Quoted from TimBoch:

    Even better that there were real people playing them. 155 games were played on the pins on Saturday. Thanks Eric.

    You got lucky your STTNG didn’t get clobbered by JR he put up his best game the following Monday on a different machine.

    It’s technically not the game room but the living room is coming together nicely. I think Bank A ball will go on the end but it’s too stinky to come in the house yet.

    Got some reorganizing done today for one of the spare bedrooms. I can now fit one more game in here.

    I think I’ll add a light strip in back rather than that harsh fixture on the ceiling. Open to any other recommendations.

    Quoted from uphamj:

    Is that because you have firepower shoved under flash ha ha

    Nope originally had everything up against the right wall. Behind Firepower is Nugent which were both stored coin door up on the left wall.

    Quoted from kyle5574:

    I love the casual worksite in that picture. Hot soldering iron hanging from the shooter, solder on the ottoman, cold beverage in the PinGulp…but what’s the hammer for?

    hammer was for getting the door off the hinges with a punch (not seen) in order to get that JP inside the room without having to take the head off.

    You should have been there minutes before. While the iron is cooling off on the shooter rod, earlier it was plugged in and hanging off the door knob of the door while the door was leaning up against the wall.

    #17884 2 years ago
    Quoted from kyle5574:

    Been thinking about this. How do you get the pin out from under the pins? Is it a one-person job?

    They are pretty light so it could be done alone. They were slid under before 8 ball and stellar wars went into position. They’d need to be pulled back out again to recover the games.

    Quoted from RTS:

    Pin removal practice device

    Practice time is over for me….

    Got part of the basement reorganized for a get together.

    #17941 2 years ago
    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    I'd like to be part of that get together

    Should have about 50 games up and running hopefully. If you find yourself in the area then or any time you know how to get ahold of me.

    #17944 2 years ago
    Quoted from bob_e:

    Get your Fire Queen / Vulcan assembled soon

    I just took it apart to make room. Tough choices to make. Actually one of my favorite EMs around here. Good news is it’s all shopped and doesn’t need anything. Will have about 10 more EMs to play upstairs.

    Got Dave’s basement on point. This is about 1/3rd of the collection.

    #17983 2 years ago
    Quoted from pinballslave:

    What's the game at the far end?

    You don’t see many of these around. WMS Contact. He actually tried selling it a few years ago for $800 and had no interest. It’s a keeper now. I like it. It’s like the love child of Space Mission and WMS World Cup.

    #17984 2 years ago

    Still can't fit everything in a few pics. I was wanting to make a video before people started showing up.

    #17988 2 years ago
    Quoted from CoachBacca:

    any chance we could get a longer slower video so we can really see/ooh an aah the collection?

    Here you go! I have slow internet so I try to keep them short.

    Quoted from CoachBacca:

    no games listed in your collection so if you wanna keep it private I understand that too.

    Not even set to private, they aren't even there. I lost track awhile ago (I even left out bank-a-ball by accident) so I just went through and deleted them. Plus it helps keep my inbox clean from offers and trades. My offer always stands to anyone coming through town, always welcome to stop by and play. Had about 25 people come through yesterday. Some people stop in for a couple hours, others stay all day.

    DavidLee got his games rearranged yesterday. Looking good.

    You can even see what’s available to play while on the back patio

    Quoted from Doctor6:

    Well Jesus Christ! Some rich mofos in here.

    Maybe…maybe not. You can do quite a bit of work yourself and save a lot of money and take your time with procurement.

    Also depends what you like to spend your money on. I don’t travel, don’t have a boat or cabin etc don’t spend much on entertainment. I spend my money on pinballs and even more on pinball parts/ reproduction parts.

    No just moving games around.

    That light came with the house and I don’t even use it. Been here 6 years and maybe turned it on 3 times.

    It looks like a disco ball but it’s squiggly plastic with a small bulb in the middle

    Quoted from superNoid:

    Your room looks fantastic, I like the more modern look with pins in it. Actually I REALLY like the cave look as well that many people have but for me I can't ever do that. My room for pins is basically a bonus room with seating, TV and a dining table all with modern furniture so I need to place pins in that decor. Its nice to see other people with similar design as well.
    Do you have any night shots in this room and how the pins look in the dark?

    Not completely. Here's the picture I use for splash screen prior to live streams on Twitch (which I haven't done in awhile)

    Also found a picture of the basement empty from around the time I bought the house. Basically standing in the same place

    If you don’t mind sleeping under the games. You could use the mattress leaning up against counterforce.
