YES! YES! Do this! Make a smaller scale version, that would be so awesome. With labels for each system. :applaud:

Trust me I want to badly... But it's not really cost productive. Another collector friend of mine had about 35-40 games hooked up with blank white rocker switches / breaker panel that looks pretty neat. I would take it to the next level though...Just as an example go to the bottom of this page: http://www.advantageavionics.com/engraving.htm I think it would be neat to engrave my games into the switches so I can individually turn them on. I might do that when all said and done and I have 25-30+ games but for right now i'm sticking to my lame power strips.
Other companies...

Guy that did this for his air plane panel (*attached image)... said:
"I purchased the switches at Allied Electronics - http://www.alliedelec.com/. Here's the details:
(642-0131) AML34FBA4AC01 - Switch
(642-1060) AML91LA73 - Bulb ( yes they are lighted and they look great )
(642-5521) AML54-F10W - Cap ( white )"
Gave me a great idea :-) All in due time...

I remember some years ago someone saying that when you get past ten games, it's a hassle turning on all those switches. I'd modernize it, and have a touch display, with the option to 'highlight+shift' rows of games.

Beautiful room, well done!
