I'm always nonworking games outnumbering working ones... I buy them all nonworking, almost.  I have bought few working ones.  Right now, though, all of my pins are taken down and stored so I can work on finishing the basement.

Like I always say: "Whatever I have to do to get them in the door." ;D

Wife is okay with me bringing home a piece of junk for next to nothing, in which I have to invest money and time to get working. If I try to even mention a nice machine, its a hell no due to price. Nevermind that the fixer uppers end up costing a much as the ready to go ones, or the fact that I spend time fixing them. ::)

Mine is still a work in progress, but it will be done later this week when I finish putting on the new baseboard (tonight) and have the carpet installed in a few days.





Here's what it used to look like when we bought the house:



The pictures make it look small, but there's enough room for 20 cabs or so and about 4 or 5 pins. I only have a handful of cabs and two pins, so I'm good for quite some time.

Edit: You can't see the walk-in closet, but it's actually big enough for another 4 or 5 cabs and has two electrical outlets inside. I don't plan on sticking cabs in there at this point since I don't lack the room right now. I'll probably use it to store PCBs, MVS carts, parts, and tools. I took the shelving out when I painted it, so I can put something a bit more custom in this time around.

You're into pins now.  The upper end "nice cabs" are the "fixer upper" prices now for the lesser titles... think 2x-3x for a top title.  Gotta come up with a new strategy for the wife.

Heh, I showed her the Futurama customized pin project and told her we could do the same thing in something she wanted it done. That did the trick. Judging by the way I get projects done, I'll get around to customizing it in...oh... sometime after I retire. ;D
