Put the board outside the door and paint it yellow
I believe it is better to stop them from ramming the door in the firstvplace

I agree,also if you have a forklift park it sideways on the inside of the door . as well
 as puting up this sign.
    These premises
        guarded by
          shotgun
three days per week.
        you guess
      which three!
I'm not cranky, I just want MORE pins!

Another deterrent sign:

" Guard Dog on premises, my dog can make it to the front gate in 2.5 seconds......can you? "

That should go to the alarm systems thread as it is alarming info for the burglar.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

The floorplan ideas are starting to progress, and there's some really good ideas about how to set the place up. The area under the mezzanine level is the kitchenette area where a table will be set up and then behind that area, along the walls will be a large "L" shaped workbench area that I will construct. Purely to repair boards or playfield swapovers. So this area will be in the area below ;



Today I started to move just some of the games stored in my Garage, and here is around 1/4 of the games in the "High End" restoration queue that are waiting on playfields, backglasses and repaint. Ironically, the first pinball in the building is the Fathom.




Looking from the showroom area / corridor and out into the front half of the factory, is the lonesome pinball "Strange Science". Now if ever I thought the building "could be too small", this pinball illustrates the size of the area. This wall will have 5M racks installed at a later date.





The fitout will be very basic as the floorplan is incredibly well laid out, but we will maximize the lower level before heading upstairs.

That looks fantastic Nino! The floors have been finished to a really high standard almost fully polished! It really puts into perspective the size of the floor space when you see those few pinball machines on the floor!

This is another Strange Science mate. Yours is still in storage and won't be moved for a couple of weeks. Yes, you will have your own corner !

Found some NICE places for a Neon or two as well  ^^^

The factory / warehouse looks amazing.  Photos do not do it justice the place is HUGE !

The proposed layout is perfect for the space and once the internal fitout is complete it will be awesome.

Can't wait for the grand opening....  ^^^

Nino, while you're still in a rough planning stage of "what goes where", when it comes to building your workbench(s)......Also consider the option to build mobile workbenchs (on castor wheels), you'll never struggle for workbench room and can move the "waiting for parts" machines into another aisle, then wheel them out when needed later on with no struggle.

Mobile benchs are far better then dragging cabinets and boxloads of boards on & off a fixed bench all the time...
You'll find your fixed bench might disappear altogether, or simply be reduced to a small 2 metre long bench for computer, rom burning, board reworks etc.

Food for thought.

Stern - Definite "NO"
JJP - There was a remote possibility. I decided against it.

There are other distributorships in negotiation as we speak. There will be no hints  *.*

Yes - Already looking for a large mobile tool chest / workbench combo.  ^^^

Not a high end "Snap in tools", but similar. There will be long continuous benches with electricity and lighting with storage provision underneath. There is a section devoted to customer machines with dedicated benches with storage - like a "bay" for a particular game where I can remove playfields etc. There will be a paint booth and a dedicated Welding Station that adheres with the safety standards. The board repairs section will be fitted out with Hakko or similar stations. Not the 40W $20 bunnings soldering irons that used for car batteries ! My test rigs will be placed in their own sections.

From "Day 1" this will be planned and purpose built. I only want to do this once, and I want it to work straight away.
