Title: ddstoys New Gamesroom
Post by: ddstoys on August 17, 2009, 03:54:52 PM
Well for those who havnt been keeping an eye on the shed rebuild thread.  This has been many years worth of collecting stuff in the hope of one day having a games room big enough for it all.  I ve finally built it and here it is as always could have been bigger but oh well ill just have to sell what ever i cant squeeze in.  Its very hard to get a good overall picture so ill start with a panoramic picture then the view from behind the bar and just add all my other pics after that

Ive tried to fit as much in but without making it look cluttered the space above the couch will have another backbox mounted once i pick it up and there are still a few playfields to go up aswell.

Im still debating if i whould mount a few playfields randomly on the roof ??  (Any thoughts)

Im adding a few photos of the fridge as i always get asked is there room for a fridge.  One is a small redbull fridge the other is a standard house fridge that ive installed Drink sliders so my cans all slide to the front and added black lights to make it glow.   

And before anyone asks during the shed rebuild i didnt have access to the fridge so i left it empty  ^&^

hey, it looks excellent, love ya work.... i like the talking alcohol tester on the bar, bet it gets a workout. i notice the lock on the alcohol fridge  ^^^
 ^&^
regarding your question re the roof, yeh, why not put some random playfields up there, maybe add a few inexpensive rope lights for max effect of a nightime. but it looks great and i am impressed with the variety you have.    #*#
ohh, the blacklight glowing barfridge is awesome. #*#

 Ive blown the ass out of the alcohol tester i think it needs a new sensor LOL.

Its hard to tell in the photos but i have a Disco UFO light up one end and the chasing lights on one side wall so rope lights would look pretty cool.   But once all the machines and signs are turned on its like daytime lol.

And for the sake of the pinnies i didnt put in any sky light or windows to try and avoid as much fading as possible

Well the hard part is getting the drink sliders.   But the black lights were easy i simply dismantled a twin globe Fluro Housing mounted all the ballast and starters ontop of the fridge and drilled through the fridge feed through the wires and siliconed the holes back up.  I mounted a 240v Rated switch to turn off the lights when the door closes.
  i hope this helps ^^^

Checked out Daniels shed renos last night, the pictures do not do it justice. As soon as I walked in I though WOW, all the pins lined up, PFs hanging from the walls and the roof, heaps more room for the pool table and bar, jukeboxes, lcd screens with video clips playing, other coin op games scattered around, and lots of other little goodies placed on the walls and roof. 
Awesome mancave!
Well done, you can be proud of that shed mate ^^^

Pete, the Huge Ja Ja Binks looks great. It would go very well with my NIB Star Wars Episode 1 Pinball, which had its first ever virgin game for the first ever time last night, after 10 plus years in a Williams box.

I reckon take that Ja Ja Binks dude down the local busiest round a bout/intersection and stand next to it, look at your watch, and see how long it takes for someone to freak out when they see the 9 foot dude standing there, as they drive off the road. Probably take 10 mins for the coppers to turn up and queastion where u are from, as u answer, " a galaxy far far away: ofcourse !  #*# #*# #*#

Daniel, if you are having problems with the DVD drive, u can try modding the xbox & then installing a larger hdd. You can then dump you discs to the hdd & play them straight off the hdd.

Ben showed me a link to this modding thing.  Looks interesting is it hard to do?
Title: Re: ddstoys New Gamesroom
Post by: Chad on January 28, 2011, 11:17:24 PM
There is 2 methods that u can do, a softmod or install a modchip, I have installed a lot of modchips which is easy if u can solder and this is the easiest method to do if you want to change your hdd as well. I haven't had much experience with softmodding but it is also a bit more difficult if you want to change your hdd, others might know more about softmodding.

I also have a disk which will configure your new hdd if you decide to install a modchip. Let me know if you need a copy of the disk
If you have any questions or want to know more just ask

Cheers

Daniel's gamesroom is just amazing. While I am pretty much only pinball, seeing those EM arcade games is wonderful. The (I think it's called) Road Race is amazing - a hologram that is almost impossible to discern not the real thing.

The ten strike is simply awesome! What's the plan - enjoy as is or restore (or enjoy then restore)? Outside of pinnies & galaga that's probably the one other coin-op I'd love to have. I doubt there's more than a handful in Oz.

 At this stage ten strike will be enjoyed as is.  The owner was very proud when he told me that back in the 70s he repainted the cabinet with his mum.   I'm also getting all the fathers photos of when the games were on location around Victoria so if I have a photo of the game as is they will be left as is.     Unless the cabinet has been repainted in original the. I'll re do those.   

    King of swat and motorama will get cabinet restores at some point

  Coins up, starts up, car steers, scores, opponents cars and it crahes only thing I can find not working now is the scenery drum still no space to get it into my shed but atleast its half working ready for me to make space (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160707/040ecb24b8212c9c49fc27e76414a393.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160707/9803c79f355778478511fa3cdd5cbd05.jpg)

Post by: ddstoys on July 28, 2016, 04:29:49 AM
Well another machine to add to the restoration Que

  From the info I've found or Been told it's an English built machine or an Aussie copy of a joystick penny roll game.    Roughly between 1949-1950

  Here's my starting point
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160727/78892d5f428b9f3fe1c88e2dc077c406.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160727/3ca0a65a7590ec82be137212daa72162.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160727/d9a53c766d84328b7078b2fb55bf874e.jpg)

And again from what's available I think this is what it should look like (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160727/0d971d667f6926105b1331a663124c58.jpg)

  And I found this jammed inside the game so It was originally used with Aussie Penny's

Knocked up a temporary cabinet today for the trashed playfield.   So many missing parts to track down or make to finish properly so this cabinet is just to get it off the bench.  So yes it doesn't match the original door yes it would look better stained (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161230/7d8fa4bdc60a904aef4f2120cddac0d6.jpg)https://vimeo.com/197493490 (https://vimeo.com/197493490)

The prowler express arrived early  woo hooo got the old girl unwrapped very slowly as my necks completely stuffed game needs a little bit of loving to get it back to working condition but over all very happy.  Won't be getting a restore just a clean up.

  As for your question Rich yes the nestle is original

And Redfern if I can get chocolates the right size I'll fit keep some in there.

  I'm wrapped it's still set for pennies which is unusual lots of these games were converted to modern currency in 66 so I'm assuming this one has been out of public service for a long long time

Another one arrived today Via the prowler express can't remember if it came from NSW or Queensland.   
 
    Interesting machine most of these have a knob you turn to release any coins you win so I was intrigued how it worked (main reason I bought it).
  As per usual something's not working so they cover it with oil time and time again till it all stops .
  Degreaser the coin payout assembly and away she went oh and I replace the fishing sinker with an actual Alwin ball hahaha

Another addition the the collection today it’s a 1933 Bryan’s trickler.   

  It’s way bigger than I pictured I thought it would be about the size of the one in the second picture haha.

Another rare gem on its own but to have been operated in Australia just makes it even better

Quick video to show what it does still need lots of work.    The spring tension is way to tight I struggle to turn the handle that controls the catch cups lol

Yes there is a bell but The coils Shot.   I’ve started drawing up some schematics to try and wrap my head around how things should work.    So many brown brittle wires I just have to take my. Time

Added another couple to the collection these came from the same stash just took me longer to convince mark they needed to be in my shed.   Here’s how they arrived the entire back and floor are missing from the Skill wheel and the back and base on the Penny patience is rotten and looked stuffed everything was loose split and really had me concerned (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180308/ba7a4c34f4e3c772b963931b7a3c4ca6.jpg)

Was really excited when I removed the rotted old Lino or whatever was in the base I found this 1922 penny so she was definately used back in the day

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180308/b6ef076f5a2311bad5b012df6344c812.jpg)

  Another cool piece of history the penny patience (penny flicker) was actually designed and patented by a bloke in geelong in 1933 I’ll try find where I put the patent

Here are the patents
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180308/bc873d8da45634bcb2e185f7264daf8b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180308/f1a05514105e1fcf184481d026a97e32.jpg)

  The original version had a jackpot payout but was made illegal as it was classed as a gambling game so they made them like mine that you just got your coin back until that was also classed as gambling so the coin returns where removed

New addition.     It’s a 1951 Chicago Coin Twin Hockey (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210211/65ca450b8a1c7913409238c03949642b.jpg)


     Needs plenty of attention trying to find a schematic at the moment blown fuses and Burnt coils with no idea what they are

    It’s a very nervous experience working inside it the Playfield is heavy and held up by a prop rod if it falls on me I’m no going to be able to lift it (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210211/305358fa9e2b923c5c79ac107e0b7f13.jpg)

Well had a win today got the old girl playable.

   No info around for this game but luckily came across an American guy who had just bought one and was happy to send me some photos first the photos were a f**k I’m in trouble I knew my game had added mechs and heaps of hacks but the photos allowed me to work out what was essential which then worked out that mine was a deluxe model with number match features and other stuff.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210302/ad21c9ca17c5a4ef421c5ddff6eefc32.jpg)
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210302/879fde546d3d3f8be7adcf7692cd540d.jpg)
The match stepper was missing parts and they had completely disabled and hacked into its look for the additional added mechs which were to make it 40c per game so ripped all that out and used other parts of the match option to repair the disabled 1 player mode I’d rather a working game than a match feature on a free play game
