Here are some pictures, I know the place is a work in progress. Needs more decoration, looks a little TOO nice and not arcade like yet, but I am working on that. I find that a lot of people come in and just look and stare at the pins, which I find highly annoying, these are not antiques in a china closet they are Pinball machines made to put money in and play them, and shake them and hit them when you get mad. It is OK I swear. Now I just need to hire some metalhead kids to hang out in front of the arcade and smoke cigarettes/dope and ask people for quarters so they can play, that would be more like the arcades I remember as a kid. hahah
As a side note, this has been a massive undertaking and I tell you what. Getting this many pins "location" ready is a lot of work. I have nothing but massive respect for ANYONE who has more than 10 pins on location. You have no idea the level of work required to get this many pins ready to go day in and day out without problems. I hope to one day be as nice as the guys place in Lyons, which inspired me to do this whole idea in the first place.
