Hey all,
Thought I would share this idea.
I have very little wall space available in my games room but I was looking for a way to display anything pinball / arcade related like flyers , classic photos etc and then it hit me what I could do...
I got a 11 inch digital photo frame and LOADED it to the hilt with hundreds of pinball/ aracde images. To keep with the theme I aslo modified the bezel surround from Donkey Kong Jnr ( one of my fave classic games ) and made a surround out of that image , now that might not suit everyones taste but it does look pretty good. It stands out more in these images than it does in real life due to the flash.
Currently it is holding over 800 photos, anything from old bingo machine images to 60's pins - all the way through to 2008 images, it has images of old amusement parlours, nostalgic pics , PF close ups , translites, event / expo pics, peoples gamesrooms, extreme close ups of PF and BG art , inside machines, broken inner machine parts, whitewood images , pics from PHOF, arcade images from Funspot and numerous other arcades etc etc etc etc ......
It runs as a slideshow and goes for over 2 hours and is pretty bloody captivating and damn hard to walk away from....
I am unsure if anyone else is doing this type of thing themselves?
Heres some ideas of what I have on it......
Please note that the images on it in real life are full of colour and super crisp - these photos make it appear a little dodgy.
Next plan is to convert all the Williams / Bally promo movies to a file type this thing likes and have them available for viewing as well.
Anyway - hope it might give some of you ideas for what can be done
