Title: My Gameroom Passion
Post by: enforcer on June 11, 2009, 08:00:34 PM
Still working on it...have a couple of machines in the garage trying to make their way into the gameroom - including my Odyssey.  A few machines need to go (the pachislos, an old redemption arcade machine).  Figures, of all the stuff the kids like, it is the ping pong and the skee ball.  Go figure....

I forgot to add that the crane machine is also a #1 attraction for my 9 yr. old and her friends ! :97-

Of course, the Garfield Topper - courtesy of Buzz !!  Just got it up and running today !!  3 more toppers on the way :31-

Coke machine has sodas only - with a teenager in the house, with freinds over all the time, there will be NO easy access to any beer !!    :89-

Wow...very nice...huge space and room for more fun stuff!!  :71-

I have always wanted one of those bowling machines.  Are those tricky to keep up an running...I always imagined the mechanics on the pins might break down often?

Also does that pay phone work?  :96-

The pay phone works....the kids barely knew what it was at first !!

The shuffle bowler, particularly because it is 30 years old at this point, can become a maintenance nightmare....Expansion and contraction due to heating/cooling can affect contacts; wiring is old and can become brittle, and the backglass paint will flake.  Still trying to find another spare back glass.  I spent a tremendous amount of time restoring it and then calling in service guys to work on some of the boards.  I would love to get one of the newer shuffle bowlers with a dotmation scoreboard, but I have never seen one below $1,000.  Given the amount of time the kids play (not much), I wouldn't make the investment unless a tremendous deal came along.  Would also consider selling it to make room for other games if offered the right price.  It runs the length of one of the walls and probably could get three or more machines/slots in its place !!

Heh...thanks for the info on the bowler.   :3-  Wish I could pick it up from you but no room....hmmm....unless....I guess I could park my truck outside and just put it the garage...that would give me more room for about 10 more slots also...

Nice game room...have fun.

The Blue M does make the whole room.  Go Blue !  Almost bought the Michigan Neon Wall Clock to throw down there too..

I picked up a crane claw game about a month ago and it has become the favorite of the grand kids. They spent 3 hours with it last weekend. They win and I restock and reset the game wioth the stuff that they win and they can keep one major prize per visit. They are fun to watch too.

Ya gotta move it out of the garage and find room in the house. :30-

Shame on you Frank A charging the grand kids 50 cent to pay and only can  have one.  :30- :97- :97-




Sorry, just had to say it, I know you wouldn't charge them. Aren't grand kids fun! :72-

This game room is AWESOME!!!! :75-  and looks to be about the size of my house   :72- :97-  Now you know why I had to give up my garage and build a room in there. 

I guess I could park my truck outside and just put it the garage...that would give me more room for about 10 more slots also...
Jim

I think the last time I had my truck in the garage was 10 years ago when I moved here. :97-  Oh the other hand, our Mustang GT was ALWAYS in the garage to keep it looking good, that is until I had to buy these slot machines. :30-  Now it is in a portable garage in the back yard and covered with a car cover ta boot.

Awesome game room.  Nice to see your  :31- up and  :138-.

Garage Space ??  I have 3 car garage and room for only 1 car !!  My wife keeps telling me to get rid of my "crap" and "junk" - which right now are 3 slot machines (including my obsession Odyssey slot machine which has monitor problems), one Deer Hunting USA arcade game and one Namco Crisis Zone arcade game (which must weigh 600 pounds, no joke).  I keep trying to sell stuff on Craigslist, but 9/10th of the replies are "tire kickers" and scammers....

Great game room enforcer. Get in touch with Kevin Steele at Gameroom Magazine and submit your gamerrom as a gameroom of the month in the magazine.I was in in October a few years ago. I tried to get my crane game down the stairs but it is too big to make the last turn at the bottom. It will live in the garage as an orphan until I can figure a way to bring it down to meet the rest of the family. A few pictures are attached.

Frank,

Nice set-up.  Love the Seeburg juke and the Haywire slot machines.  Will look into the Gameroom magazine for sure...
