Quoted from ElectricLou:

Long time since I post my rooms.
Stripped my pin collections saying I was over this sh*t.
Yeah right..
1 more in the garage for high end resto. I enjoy much more playing IN them than WITH them now.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from ElectricLou:

Digital jukebox? Not sure what you are taliking about.
Hmmm...not pinball related...maybe the shakespear bust on the bar. When you push back its head There is a switch that open or close all games.

Quoted from ElectricLou:

I bought mine used for 200$. Great deal

Quoted from jorge5240:

If I could buy one for $200, I would buy it in a second. For $1K not so much at this point.

Quoted from MrMikeman:

My gameroom isn't as impressive but I'm only beginning to re-populate it after a 10-year post divorce hiatus...
Turns out my GF loves pins at least as much as I do if not more.. Found the right one! Here's quote from last week "NOTHING leaves. More is better".
Using one of the 4 bedrooms for a game room. 1 is for my gaming computer/VR room. 1 is a guest room and the other is mine of course lol.
MMrRE on order will be added shortly(there's room for 4 on that wall). Also just managed to get my hands on a Dr Who once we figure out transport. The mini-fridge will go under the TV and pin #5 will go where the fridge is now. After that I have to use the home theater room as an overflow lol.
Wall art will start going up soon. Have a few BGs and translites to go up but need to get/make lit frames.

Quoted from dirkdiggler:

Only American is the Jack Daniels I think. Brewhouse is a Saskatchewan beer and the AGD is Alberta brewed. Royal reserve and the cheap vodka are definitely Canadian. Not sure about fireball. I love doing shots of it from the freezer. Same with tequila. So much better cold.
We both love spicy ceasars. That's a new to us flavor of clamato. Pickled bean flavored. I'll let you know how it tastes in a hr or two.[quoted image]

Quoted from cait001:

yeah when the pandemic is over I'm letting every parent on my block bring their kids over to the arcade.

Quoted from Saltimbanco:

In lieu of shuffleboard, skee ball is an option! That one, my gf really likes (so do the kids)

Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:

ATTN: Buffalo
I moved to your glorious city last week.
I'm pleased to announce that I've finished unpacking all my shit and was able to set up the first edition of Cloudy Laundromat™ this afternoon.
Let's hang when the pandemic finally gets its ass kicked OK?

You get serious brownie points for knowing about Weltron gear!

Quoted from Timfenske11:

Why so few circuits on a new build? Most "new" games are rated at 8 amps. I have no problem running 3 on a 20 amp circuit but I would worry about 6 if they were all on at once. Just my two cents as an electrician since its easy and very inexpensive to do now rather than later
On another note looks like it will be an amazing house.

Quoted from BMHouze:

I enjoy free beer.
Any pics with a bowler or skee ball
My wife loves to play bowlers.
It's a bunch of real estate.....

Quoted from MVCO:

Can you tell I like old Bally's? Also collect vending stuff. Many of the pins are HUO. My pride and joy accumulated over the last 30 years.

This reminds me of the Jeremy Williams Arduino-powered PF lighting kits no longer sold? It was a great product I wish I could get for my spare Deadpool PF! Jump to 2:55

Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:

Rechargeable USB lights? Brilliant!
I was looking for something like this and didn't know it existed. Thank you!
MrMikeman Can one remote turn on and off 2 or more at the same time? Or do I need to use a separate remote for each one?

Quoted from Motorcitypinball:

I was focused on an expensive, complicated, sophisticated sequencer. Until you posted this!
It took me 45 minutes to setup and $11.95
Thanks for posting the info!

Quoted from trueno92:

Omg wow is there a diy thread for this?

Quoted from mbeardsley:

Nice collection of Sys-11 games...but you need a Mousin' Around.

Quoted from coasterguy:

6 for the case! 2 for the cpu are Obove facing down.

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

Wait, back up the truck. How did you get your hands on a 3090 GPU?
You’re mining with that when you’re not gaming right? That thing should bring in about $210/month.

Quoted from ToucanF16:

When you figure it out let me know. I have the exact same NSM hanging in my office. The dollar bill acceptor is no longer working and I want to put it on free play.

Quoted from bonzo442:

I read about the 99 credits and had to use a dollar bill to reach that amount but it still didn’t work? Maybe it is a dead battery I will check that out thanks

Quoted from bonzo442:

Hey Mike, no luck with your instructions and pulling plunger out doesn’t work either. I’ve attached a pic of mpu would you happen to know which is the ram/battery chip?
Thanks again[quoted image]

Quoted from TxJay:

So I've been staring at the image an hour now and I still don't see the 3D image..I hate these things. What is it supposed to be a rocket or whale or something? [quoted image]

Quoted from pinballslave:

I know where you're coming from, I'd love to invite people off the street to come and play the pins, give them a break from their daily routine and something fun to do to bring a smile to their faces... the only snag is my wife doesn't like visitors, especially ones she doesn't personally know and like (which excludes most of my friends), so pretty much no-one gets to play them except me!!

Quoted from Mopar:

Over the weekend I built a stand and put a revolving Merry-go-Round (that I picked
up over the Summer) above the pellet stove. I'm 100% EM and know nothing about
sound components but the 1956 "Peppy the Clown" I have has a modern sound device
to play its music..
I'm sure this is a ridiculous question to many, but what's an easy inexpensive way to
record and add Carousel music to the Merry-go-Round? Thanks for any suggestions.. (T)

Quoted from Hammerhead:

I hear ya, I was an arcade kid in the 80s, wasn't into pinball until High Speed blew my mind, and I've never looked at arcades the same since.

Quoted from Zartan:

Not being rude just questioning but why have them? If you aren’t going to play like crazy? Wouldn’t it be cheaper and easier to just go to an arcade? I play mine every weekend after cleaning the house or finishing my “honey-do-list”! I think I played 100 games last night with the kids!

Quoted from Zartan:

I’ve never seen that! I want one now!

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

This isn't going to be exactly on topic... but the audience is right... was wondering about pricing back in the day on new games. Specifically, wondered if Williams or Bally in the 80s and 90s had all new titles coming out at a standard price that wasn't based on the title? Sort of like how it is now with Stern, where every new game has the same price (not counting different prices for Pro, Premium, LE... I mean, standard price regardless of whether it is Rush or Star Wars or Godzilla).
Did they do the same thing back in the day? Like in 1990 or so, would Rollergames and Diner and then Funhouse all have cost the same to an operator that was buying it new?
My train of thought being how those three all have different values right now as would other sets of games from the same year. Like in 1991, maybe you could have bought Terminator 2 or Gilligan's Island or Bugs Bunny... but how disappointed would you be looking at values if you had bought Bugs Bunny and not something else?
Guess I'm just thinking of all the new Sterns with the same price when new... there are inevitably going to be some duds and some great ones, yet you don't know it on day one and might still pay that full amount for what is later realized to be a lousy game. I can think of a few in the past couple years that are great and some that are not. Yet resale prices don't seem to show that yet.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Best to play any titles you want to buy in advance of commiting I’d say. Being an early adopter on something going for $16k CAD and it could be a dud just ain’t in the cards for me.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

"...it's addictive!"
"...won't be long before you get your second machine!"
"...down the wormhole we go!"
Funny, I didn't have a single game less than two years ago. Now look at this mess! [quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Skatewake:

Yes, ditch the couch..... no time to be sitting down....

Quoted from JustLikeMe:

It's been a long time coming, but I can finally contribute to this thread. Moved earlier this year to a house which had an outbuilding that had previously been used as a workshop - wasn't much to look at, but it had three phase electric and running water at least:

I immediately saw the potential for a pin room - I'm just lucky my wife liked the house attached - and got to work on it a couple of months ago. Building work finished last week, and I moved the machines in this week. Incredibly happy with the outcome.

Quoted from scootss:

Help with picking my next game, please...
We are looking to add a non-pinball game for more variety. The space in question is behind the couch, along the wall. With Arcade Legends moved to one side, there is approx 90 inches (7.5 ft) along the wall and 69 inches from wall to couch.
We also have a megatouch that is behind the jukbox (not shown in the pic).
(and yes, I know and worry about the pin next to the windows, but it is a vacation house and they spend most of their lives covered with the blinds closed)
I have some ideas, but didn't want to bias the opinions yet
thanks![quoted image]

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

Superb!. They expensive?

Quoted from Days:Hahahaha!
Of course i will not have a NEON sign saying "coffee" , i will have something saying Arcade _____ in neon, just used that 3D neon template just to have an idea of how it will look, aso the red slotmachine will be a "Megatouch" machine or a Pachinko machine. I will have a beer tower etc etc... haaa and of course... i will not have only Game of thrones pinball machines, it's always GOT model just to give an idea of how it will look like

Quoted from Ballderdash:

Now I understand the purple hue mixed with the red LEDs.

Precisely why I added the shuffleboard and SuperChexx. However, in hindsight I wish I had gone with a bowler. Yet they are just so large and unlike the shuffle, pretty much need to back up against a wall. What length is yours? Btw, there’s a guy in Ohio that restores them to original quality but they’re like $10,000 plus. Yours for $1,000 was a steal!

Quoted from Luckydogg420:

So, here’s my game room as it is today. My newest addition was a couple rolls of 1/2” neon gaffer tape to add some glow to my Arcade1up collection and skeeball game. The retro consoles are all modified or running an everdrive with the entire library of games except for the ps1 (haven’t got to it yet) and ps2 (it only has about 200 games on the hard drive). They can be played on the Sony crt in the corner or on the projector, or both at the same time. This side of the room has a pretty kick ass surround sound system for watching movies too. The other side of the room is for my 1up’s, full sized mame cabinet, and a racing chair connected to a ps3. There’s a 10 foot storage room behind the back wall that will eventually become part of this room as I need more space for games, but that project is a couple years away. My next addition will probably be an AFM pin, unless there’s a new 1up that catches my attention before then. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from littlecammi:

I see you got the extended cab version of Led Zeppelin.

Quoted from Frogman:

Working on it now. I'll start a new thread and invite the people who posted here.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Having a hard time understanding this one. If you’re putting together a really expensive game room, what’s wrong with wanting to have unique stuff?

Quoted from zebpin61:

Summer game room.... I like it! In my entire life I've injured my back twice: the day I bought a 12ft shuffle bowling game and the day I sold it. You're a better man than me or at least stronger, if you're moving that beast twice a year. Enjoy!

Quoted from Nintegageo:

You probably just taught him they come apart haha

Quoted from MWM82:

How do you like that Shuffle Bowler? Is is frequently played? Any recommendations if I were to get one?

Quoted from TonyP66:

It is fun when you get a crowd, but it does not get much play solo. People like that it is pretty simple in nature and the scores are are always close.
For me it fit perfectly in that spot for something a bit different.

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

I really enjoy looking through these cool pictures of game rooms. Keep em' coming folks!

Quoted from Neal_W:

Yup, I keep mine tight also to improve my tournament skills at nudging without causing a tilt. Anyone can slide the pin around, but slap saves and small thumps take practice.
Besides the warning and tilt callouts are funny to hear once in a while. I love the claxon warning sound on TWD and AIQ warning "DONT SHAKE MACHINE!!" and tilt callout "Hulk Sorry".

Quoted from pacman11:

Has anyone done anything cool with playfields on here?

Quoted from kool1:

How do you like Labyrinth so far? Played at Expo, seemed like a solid game.

Quoted from KING-HENRY:

You really need another NBA Fastbreak, so you can link them...I had a linked set for a bit, and it was the coolest, most competitive setup pinball has to offer (and the only scenerio where you can link two pinball machines!)

Quoted from RikeIsland:

What is the best way to hang a playfield on a wall? I have seen the picture frame wire trick, but I was wanting them to be more flush to the wall. Thought about finding existing holes and just using a flat head screw.

Quoted from KING-HENRY:

coo, cozy setup there How do you like your Labrynth? How does it stack up against the rest of your pins there? Merry Christmas!!

Quoted from ExSquid:

How often does your shuffleboard get played. The wife and I are actually thinking of picking one up. Good beer drinking game.

Quoted from Dashmonster:

I am with you on a JP. I think the LE armor though, my friend has a FF premium and it looks bad next to the BRK Elvira he just got. I don’t think 12k is a good price for used stern LE but 500 in the world I may have to pay to play for JP.
Now Jaws LE with that white armor might look sick next to GnR. I bet I can get an LE of Jaws for 10k before I can get LE of JP.

Quoted from Chosen_S:

Oooooo…
Couple of questions!
1. What did you do with your vewlix?! I love those machines, I had to build one because I couldn’t find one to purchase.
2. Your dot matrix clock…. Is that rundmd? Can you tell me more on the large led panels that it is made of?
Nice collection too!
