Title: Old school Arcade
Post by: v8racefan on January 06, 2010, 05:44:03 PM
Well over the weeks leading up until Xmas I have been busy building/restoring a 20" Lowboy arcade cabinet.

Have to amit this I really enjoyed this resto, the kids just love this cabinet as well, and it got a thrashing over the xmas new years period as it rained during most of this time.

I installed a 60 in 1 multi board as they were the same price as a 48 in 1. Cabinet still has 40c per play coin mech credit set up, and the kids really enjoy the coins, I have a small bowl holding about $12 in 20c coins, the kids stack them up on the glass.

I have to say thanks to mike (pinmadd) kiwi pinhead who assisted with some wiring issues, thanks mate, next time I'm back in NZ I'll shout ya a beer or ten.  $&&

These multi cabs really compliment any Aussie Pinball games room  ^^^

I've attached some pics of my machines currently set up in my office at home.

Yep, they are excellent!.  Take up bugger all floor space, and provide LOTS of fun.  ^^^

I have a Neo Geo set up and a Soul Calibur board that i swap the jamma harness onto and rotate the monitor for when my teenage nephews are around, as they prefer those over the vertical classics.

One day i'll get a Cocktail table to run the vertical games in permanently  *%*

Very cool ^^^
I notice some sort of toppers on your pins . . . .
Any chance you could snap these and add them to the "Toppers" thread?
Cheers
