Unique and Must Haves for your Game Room

I'll start with a confession... I obsess about the question you asked and am always on the hunt for unique gameroom things
With that said I've been searching (hours maybe 10s of hours) for a large scale spectrum analyzer.
If that gets solved here on this thread - I'm in!

BTW the Smokey the Bear display is too cool.

Here are my answers:

Quoted from drummermike:
You have one of the most awesome rooms and so many unique items.

Too kind - wish I could play those drums like I bet you can. Just started because I've tried 3x on guitar and could not make progress
Been an "air drummer" for years now and just now learning that I'm not as good as I thought I was - the term "limb independence" was not in my vocabulary
Eager to get lessons underway when my teacher can actually visit again

Quoted from LTG:
If you don't mind my asking. How did you do that ?
Take a picture or each pinball machine and put on a SD card or something to flip through them ?
I thought smaller of backglasses would be neat. But the whole playfield is amazing.
LTG : )

Actually simpler than it looks Lloyd.
They are the attract screens from the virtual pinball tables on the VP Forums ... all can be downloaded for free
Then you need some video software to join them all as a single MPEG movie that will play on a cheap smart TV - add transitions between each clip for a more professional look
Then find a TV mount (Amazon) that can mount and rotate 180 degrees and mount it and play!
<$250 all in!

Here's a short video

This is a stainless steel filter from one of the fuel pumps that fed the kero and liquid oxygen fuel mix of the Saturn V rocket
The Saturn V remains the most powerful machine ever built by man - 5 Rocketdyne F1 engines that produced 7.5 million pounds of thrust
The fuel pumps alone were 57,000 horsepower each!

Quoted from TimBoch:
My PGA Team Challenge had to stay upstairs in the Clubhouse because it wouldn't fit through the door to the game room.
The unique must have for the Clubhouse is the ballwasher in the corner.

Very, very cool ball washer!

Quoted from mooch:
I love that red Galanz mini fridge!
I just ordered one of those online for myself.

Keeps stuff cold, works well. Careful installing the handle - be gentle and you'll be fine.
Too easy to strip the handle studs

Quoted from TimBoch:
I bought the ballwasher about 8 years ago while at the 3M Championship with my wife. It is signed by 13 of the “super seniors” attending the tournament. My father had passed away just a month before. I had played golf with him since I was 3. The autographs were people he watched play golf during their careers in the 60s and 70s. So i bought it in memory of him. Surprisingly it was my wife that pushed me to actually do it.

Thx for sharing - what a wonderful story!
