Title: My Gameroom
Post by: ScottyK on April 10, 2020, 11:25:30 AM
I just wrapped up a restoration of a GameKing that I acquired a couple of months ago, so I thought it might be a good time to post some photos of my updated gameroom.  It's small, I know, but it is comfortable.  2 slots, 2 pinballs, a cocktail arcade, a jukebox, poker table, and wet bar.

Some more.  Monopoly and South Park recently moved out, and Twilight Zone and Batman 66 moved in.

I built the bar myself.  What a great experience that was!


The cocktail arcade I also restored, and made it a multicade.

Awesome spot, looks like hours of fun!


Love the collectibles and wall decor.


I wouldn't mind spending an evening there checking everything out and playing some games!

TZ had always been something of a "grail" pin for me, so when this one became available at a good price I had to jump on it.  I replaced the original orange DMD as a small number of the dots had burned out (it was like that when I got it).  So finally when I could afford it, I put in a ColorDMD.  The color animations are really great.
I also have rainbow color LEDs in the clock.  I replaced the clock board which was not working properly with one that was built by a gentleman in Germany.  The rainbows were an option; they change color over time.  I also have the option of switching those bulbs out and putting in traditional white ones.  At some point I'd like to LED the whole thing, put that's going to be a bit pricey in order to do it right.
Glad you like it!

WTF... Im so jealous of the space behind your bar  :hissyfit:  .  My main object is my pool table, then my bar. I would love to have that back bar... Looks GREAT!!!

Thanks so much; I'm glad you like it.


The lighting behind the glassware are strips of RGB LEDs, so I can change the color of the lighting as I choose.  There's a good deal of storage space in the cabinets, and a wine fridge under the popcorn maker.  The octagonal mirrors were from a bar that my dad did for a customer 25 years before; he changed his basement setup, so I got the mirrors.  I took some glass from a jalousied storm door that I had laying around and made the top back liquor shelf; the other shelves are stepped that I made out of oak.


Once again, thanks for the compliments!
