Running out of room!
« on: August 19, 2011, 03:22:49 pm »
A few more on the way and I have no space left! What do others do when you run out of room? Move? There's no way these will be allowed out of the garage :/

I am still waiting on the confirmation of this one, but it's from a private collection, originally owned by a Midway employee. Never used on a route, only 350~ credits on the coin counter. Fingers crossed I should have it by the end of next week :D










Been after one of these for a while and shipping aside (from the states) this was a bargain :D





And finally, I only have a bootleg generic Hyper Sports at the moment. I wish this had the centuri coin door to match my track and field but hey, beggars can't be choosers :) - quite pricey this one, and again I pretend shipping from US doesn't exist ;)



Just need to find room now. Sketchup is my new best friend  :cheers:

You just keep buying them, and then try to find a spot to place them. When I started, I planned for 10 games in the garage, and I thought that was about all I could comfortably fit in there. since then, I have upped the capacity to 18, and I see (or maybe just want to see) possible spaces for more. One wall of the garage is still dedicated to tools and workspace, so if I can ever find somewhere else to work on stuff, I can probably get about 30 games in there.

I know the feeling! I started with one, became 4, then 5, then 11 and so on

We are seriously looking at turning the summer room into an additional arcade room. I currently have (or am about to have) the cabs in my sig.

I have another four lined up in addition to those below and am waiting on info on, well, a LOT of cabs. I won't be getting them all  :laugh2:

Once I know what I can get and such will post some pics. Some are phenomenally good.

Yeah it's a pain. It was taken off the production line by a midway employee and I can only assume the side art was to be applied later.

I know what you mean, but I would prefer the art. Not that you'll see it. And I am only guessing that's why it ain't there

If it was taken off the original line, then it's a special kind of collector's item.
