That is kick ass and an impressive collection of machines.

I also want to know what it sounds like in there....

Is that neon running along the floor and ceiling, or are they fluorescents with colored sleeves around them or....???

looks great...but to be honest your electrical "panel" is a little scary...i have never ever seen a pvc electrical enclosure except for 24v or less wiring... why not spring for a proper panel? it might save your life..

While I personally wouldn't want it in my HOUSE, I've seen it done dozens of times.  During a yearly festival I volunteer at, it's done that way all around the grounds.  Cost would be exorbitant if "proper" panels were used, and they have to be to code before receiving their operations permit.

Like I said though, and in agreement somewhat with you, I wouldn't want it in my HOUSE, but if he's comfortable with it....meh :-\

OT: In the UK and possibly in europe too most if not all residential fuse/RCD boards are in a plastic case.

Great Job on the room.   Maybe if I build my wife an entire room as a closet to house her entire Mall she calls a wardrobe....she will let me do this for myself.   

HA!.......Im also interested in what you put into this room cost wise.  Minus the games.  Just on the room.

You're one hell of an arcade collector, handyman and decorator, but you're sure not a camera operator.  I'm going to try and quell the motion sickness.

Hell of a room.  So jealous.

 ;D ;D ;D  Beautiful to say the least.  My father (WWII GI) did some time in Belgium and he told me many stories mostly how beautiful it is.  I have always wanted to visit and with an invite from you I know I can bring the beer and play!!  Nice job and I am in awe.

LOL, thanks for comments ;-)

If any of you want to take a ride in the Nuno's Lair, well, then you're welcome to contact me  8)

Sure that I've spend so many time in the construction   ::) Now I can spend my time ...to collect & restore new games  ;D

But, I still have to put some posters & marquee on the walls... so stay tuned  ::) 8)
