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.
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

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.

finally someone else who uses tokens, i'm not the only one anymore
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?
Very nice collection, you have put a lot of effort. I know most people did not notice but I congratulate you on the miror ball attached to the ceiling...........brings back memories
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,

tks, sorry Cobra99 for the small hijack of your thread. Again very nice game room.

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

Keep on playing brother
I even have spot lights to shine on it when I want to go retro.
hahah i bought the bellagio tokens too, and i use them in my slot machine, they look way nicer then the crappy ones that came with it, and they were stupidly cheap on ebay
