Title: My Gameroom
Post by: Paladin on August 19, 2009, 01:29:13 PM
First of all, I took these pictures before I got a slot machine.  The slot is an IGT S+ Money Storm located against the wall opposite the pinball machines.
I just recently sold a couple other video games to make room for the Sinbad and Eight Ball Deluxe pinball machines.  This should be my 'final' game lineup, although I've said that before.

I think this is only about the fourth 'final' lineup.  The problem is, once you get all your games working you have to pick up a project to have something to work on.  Then you don't have room for it and have to get rid of something.

But I'm sure I don't have to explain that to most of the folks here!

Love the Tempest

Thanks!  Tempest is my favorite game, and I've owned 6 of them and 3 have been restorations.  I buy one, restore it, buy another converted one, then sell the recently completed one to fund the next resto.  Too bad I loose money when I sell them, it costs more to restore than the games value.  The feeling of bringing one back from a bad conversion is worth it though.

Here are some pictures of my latest restore.  I plan on keeping this one!

Tempest was one of my favorite games back in those days. I almost bought one from an arcade for $200 back in the mid-80s (or was it the early 80s?) when they were getting rid of it to make room for newer games. I just didn't have the room for it in my tiny apartment. :37-

Great job restoring those machines Paladin. :3- :3-

You've taken on some diverse projects.  :3- :3-
Have you considered mentioning newlifegames.net as a resource on the page detailing your fix of the Bally E-series Harrah's machine? It's just a friendly suggestion, of course -- no pressure.lol. :96- :97- :97-
