Very Kewl, the Terminator model just makes it for sure.

Also, thank you -  that does it, you guys have convinced me.  Instead of fretting and putting off my basement reno and keeping all my pins in storage because i hate drywalling, I am going to decorate with Corning pink and just finish with a nice vapour barrier.  All the better pinball collectors seem to be doing it.

This is not really part of my game room, but no game room should be missing. My KEGINATOR!  The right side is for beer and the left side(with lock) is home made rootbeer for the kids.







Some more I took of the basement...

Nice games...Is the video game a mame? it looks real cool...

I also have an early production TZ and it has the leds and the new rotten dog board in the clock, never had any issues with it.

4000 are all Majhong games

Nice looking setup, really like the Terminator statue.  surprised you don't have a T3 machine down there with your slight obsession it would seem with the Terminator series   

Any pictures of all the statues you have setup?

Pete
It has alot of power so it is great for the margaritas.  It's actually is a 2 part system.  It shaves the ice into the blender so you don't have the contents sieize up when you blend.  I like to make my own ice coffee and homemade Iced Cappuccino.

I was actually wondering about that-did you guys convert them to use tokens just to complete the arcade experience, or are there other reasons you don't just have games set on free play?

Nice collection and with all the EM love on this site, nice to see another DMD collector. Now you only need more room.


It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!

Chris,

to answer your question, the reason i went the token route is 2 fold, the first is that i wanted the arcade experience, and i found people really love just putting the tokens in, and the rush of having to run and get another one before the continue countdown is over, and it's just something that adds to the realism of it all.

2nd reason is a lot of people who don't know much about pinball end up just hammering the start button, and getting 4 games on the go, and only playing like 3 balls and walking away with 4 games running, then i have to go drain the ball, and re-start the machine, by having tokens, they usually only put in one, and that eliminates the problem.

How is it done?  Do we have to convert the coin mech or will the normal 25 cents one will also take tokens?  Lastly, where do we pruchase tokens?

i replaced all my quarter mechs with .984 token mechs found on ebay, and all the chuck-e-cheese tokens i bought off ebay as well.

if you don't care what the tokens look like, you're better off just buying the japanese slot machine tokens, you can get them super cheap, and they
work in .984 token mechs as well,

You can find some neat tokens here: http://www.arcadereplay.com.

What type do you use? i use .984 chuck-e-cheese ones, and i even have an old chuck-e-cheese token dispenser to give them out

awesome gameroom by the way.

Eric


I use the .984 also but bought 1000 old Bellagio tolkens from Ebay.

Quoted from Chris Bardon


I was actually wondering about that-did you guys convert them to use tokens just to complete the arcade experience, or are there other reasons you don't just have games set on free play?  


I did it for the complete package.  The machine sounds when you drop in a coin.  the sound of the coin going thru the mech etc.  Also cuts down people starting too many games etc
