Amazing collections and display ideas

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

My orthodontist had an Asteroids stand up arcade game, which was probably 10 years old at the time (1989) and I thought that was awesome!

 

[GF]

Some amazing set ups! here's mine.

 

[PotionMistress]

Holy cow! What a fantastic collection you have. Can't imagine having even one of those pieces.

Amazing room GF, need to add some graphics and illuminated marquees to them Gen 1 cabs though

 

[GF]

Thank you for the nice words!!! If you noticed I reversed the risers to all black, I did the same for Star Wars since this photo was taken, I dont like graphics on the riser, I will soon add faux coin panels to all the cabs but need to add a solid coler to kickplates, here's a test a did on my Star Wars cab the fake Coin panel.

 

[Boba Debt]

Not a big fan of the coin doors.

I prefer full graphics for the Kick Panel and Control Panel Filler.

 

[GF]

Very nice! I like the asteroid alot, I do prefer that instead of all the game logos, you didn't get the Star Wars?

I'm not in a hurry because I have 3-4 more Gen 1 cabs to mod while I'm waiting for Star Wars to go on "clearance"

But when it does, I plan to buy 2 and make one into a Pole Position with about 8 diving games

I get you, I really hope they make Drangon's lairs/ Space ace, always loved those games, I have no interest on the new ones they just announced well maybe one of their pinballs

GF That is absolutely epic! Looking forward to my invite in the mail

I'm not sure if you guys follow gypsycatcha79 but he does outstanding videos of his collection, taking the time to namecheck the makers and filming the pieces properly. Here's his latest video of his collection room.

Figured this would be a good place to put my collection photos.

 

[Boba Debt]

Well that's pretty freakin amazing

The only think I would change is the cabinet behind the couch

The new looking metal brings me out of the time frame of the collection.

Have you considered covering it with some old looking wood or some distress, forged looking iron moldings?

It was a pretty cheap find on craigslist for $80. I did rebuild the base to match the rest of the woodwork in the room and paint all the bare aluminum to a dark bronze, but yes the style is rather modern. I did look for an antique oak one, but they were all in the $400 to 500 range. It will do for now.

You could easily wrap the metal with distressed oak moldings
