choosing the order of your line-up

[braddo]

How do you go about choosing the order of your line-up, you know, like what goes where.

Brand? Year? Art/colours? Order you collected them in?

Or do you just throw em wherever they fit, wherever it's easiest?

[Caveoftreasures]

good question. It depends on how many pins you have i guess.

I am lucky enough to have a heap of machines so i placed them in the following order.

1. All sega concave 1997 1998 models side by side.
2. 4 x star treks all next to each other (2 x next gen 2 x 25th anniversary)
3  i try to put all williams next to each other
4. i try to put all data east next to each other.
5. since i have 2 x gamesrooms, i put the ones i play the most in the closest gamesroom
5. when i am drunk, all the above goes out the window and i just watch all the flashing lights. lol

just tack them on the end, makes no difference to me

[ROLLERBALL]

I only wanted the Black Hole and Haunted house to sit next to each other...
all my other machines are usually thrown in anywhere...or close to the door means its next to go sometimes..lol

[ddstoys]

Mine are just slapped wherever was easiest was going to order them but ive changed there positions half a dozen times already

Year of release - other than my 'work in progress bay'.

One day  

The "Bally Boulevard"

Flash Gordon, Fathom, Viking, Paragon, Medusa, KISS - If I find a decent Embryon, then it slides in next to Paragon

Haunted House, Spirit and Flight 2000 against the other wall

Circus Voltaire and Theatre of Magic against the other wall

EMs in one long line in the Garage

I just shuffled until the main pin room could fit five games along one wall, then squeezed two more in, and now they are overflowing into the rumpus room.  Totally random.

First, I need the shed big enough to hold everything

the Gotlieb EM's, sys 1 (and the Sys 80's if I ever get some) to go together

the single level games all in one row

THen divide the Alpha-numeric and the DMD games into Groups; A list, B list, C list
then line them up so thatI do not sit two from the same list next to each other

THis will take years to find the right balance

Gottliebs are all together, all the others are mixed.

Might be easier if you run an extension lead to the back of your ute.

[Dirty daz]

mine are all mixed up  too many to move around the only time they change places is if i get a new pin then its one in one out process gets harder to decide which one to take out

[mildflame]

I arrange my dads pinballs by manerfacturer but that means the ones in we cant see from the couch dont get played!
