That looks great, and with the pins, some neon and some man cave wall signs it will be an awesome arcade. First thought I had was the bar from Cheers. Get some nice wood trim and it will all tie in nicely

Adriano forget to mention the stripper poles for after hour pinball parties :p

When I first met Adriano over a year ago I never thought I would see this day come so soon and even himself had anticipated a few years before he would be able to bring all his games under one roof. He was just happy to have stolen some space from his kids play area in his last home to squeeze in 2 more pins.

Okay. baby steps.
Got me some flooring!

This is just a rolled vinyl product but I think it goes nicely with the faux brick.
Just need to do some trim around the baseboard and the ceiling... case the windows and I am ready to rock!



I finally got to set up a wedgehead just to verify that my ducting wasn't going to be an issue for my row of EMs.
The fit is great! a couple of inches to spare. Good thing I'm not super tall.
Also got to play my first game in the new gameroom :D
Golden Arrow is great!

Everything is coming together and it looks great. I should be good to come over tomorrow evening to help you unfold and setup some games.

Hope you plan to use some kind of sliding castors on the feet or you are going to scratch up that floor quick.

Drano already has a few sets of the E-Z gliders from Marco like the ones you use and once he does a final inventory count of all his games will order in the missing sets along with my order.

Yeah, I've been using those for years.
They're awesome!

I know I have a big bag at home, but I'm sure that my recent gameroom growth spurt will leave me short.
Thanks

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted an update.
I spent a lot of the weekend making and installing window boxes/casings, upper trim and baseboards.
Aisde from needing a little splash of paint on the new trim, the room is pretty well done and ready to go! :D

Can't wait to see this place all filled up with pinball goodness. Fingers crossed BH is nice to you after it's trip from my place to yours. (just so you know, I'm not available for tech help tonight!)

No worries, You'll just have to come over another time and add credits for me :D

There is just a little too much brick going on right now. It definitely needs some pins to balance things out!

Starting to slowly set up a few games.
I got EBD and BH running and set up my container High Speed just to have a closer look at it. It probably needs some love, but it is a stellar example. Thanks Gerry!

The opposite wall is still empty. I'll be bringing in all the DMDs this weekend if all goes well.




Also, found this baby on eBay. Looks great on the brick wall next to EBD!
