Game Room Build Thread in CO
« on: May 10, 2015, 02:01:16 PM »
My previous post showed my collection in a very cool space. But now, since I have the room, I'm gearing up to build a purpose-built toy room. No cars though, but about everything else.

Starting out with 2900 sq. ft. and nine foot ceilings. I will put in a bathroom, two bedrooms, shop and bar. The rest is open to imagination. I will be "imagining" for a while...

So I started by painting the ceiling black. Already positioned the pool table in between the posts.

Next up will be the bar top, a circular "Beetle-Kill" piece, 10 ft. OD, 6 ft. ID, 3 in. thick. Finally, one big room with minimal walls. The rest will be photographed as I progress. Here's the space I am working with:

Very cool! I look forward to seeing it finished. By the looks of it you can fit about 300 machines in there, or 600 stacked!  :cool_thumb_up:

Ha! Actually there will be about 20 slots, a ball bowler, a puck bowler, a sit-down Cruis'n USA, about 6 pinball machines, and a few more arcade games. Plus a 1958 Gandy 8 ft. pool table right in the middle, surrounded by Bally slots. And, if I can fit a Skee Ball machine in after this, it'll get one of them.

I even put in a "Prize Room" for the grandkids. It's getting out of control already.

Made some progress. Installed a "walk-out" on the side of the house, and concrete is all in place:




Walls are all up, textured paint applied:

I put an outlet every 3 ft on the wall where the pinball machines are going. And kept them high to conceal the cords. Then added several 6 ft high outlets for future neon sign additions.
Lots of flexibility for outlets and lighting since I did the work :-)

Somehow you can never have enough outlets. Putting the high one's for the signs is a great idea.
I never liked the cords running up the wall!

Great Job!

Glad you haven't bought any parts from me, I don't know where you live.., I'd show up in my RV to stay for a few years and hang out in your game room, like Eddy does in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Hahaaa.. - Hey, a free shabby slot tech at the very least.., or at most.  :rotfl:

Looks great, and look forward to completion.  :cool_thumb_up:
