Well, it took a few photographs - i did individual pics of each machine - came upstairs and realised id forgotten 2 pins in the front room.

The games room really is in 2 parts - the room with all the working games in it and the garage next door which has everything im working on.

Heres a pic of the games room as you enter


 the pool table doubles as a convenient place to put tools.

Ok, so going round the room, in the left corner we have....... SPACE STATION and TRAVEL TIME




Next to these is STONER RICOCHET

.

My rarest machine of all comes next - GENCO LINE UP - only 2 known to exist


Midway Monster Gun



The 1959 pokie (cheers Tony!!)



Then right in the other corner - is a Wms METRO with disappearing pop bumper


This brings you round to the woodrail section



One by one - they are..

STONER ANABEL


WMS HARVEY


WMS TIMES SQUARE


NASCO BINGO BANGO


Then we end up by the door again - on the right..
BALLY LOST WORLD - Still waiting for me to apply graphics


And on the other side...WMS APOLLO



Ok - The garage,

Games in here are,

GENCO TRIPLE ACTION
WMS LASER BALL
BALLY NIGHT RIDER
WMS CASINO
GTB SPIDERMAN
STERN WILD FYRE



Also..my treasured BALLY BUMPER  awaiting parts


The BANK A BALL all stripped down




Theres also a corner in here where i do the restoration work - i squeeze down the side of the Spiderman into the corner. For some reason Image Shack decided not to host some pics.

But i think you all get a good impression of my organised chaos

Onya Gav - love the shed, organised chaos %.%

Looks like you need a bigger games room (don't we all...)

cheers

W O W !

Gavin your line up is absolutely gorgeous, if i can say that !  ::)

I remember not so long ago you sent me a wanted list and it seems you have already sourced most of them... Good job..

One stand out for me is the Metro... Stunning...  ^^^ Although there looks like there is one missing...  &&

Thanks for posting....

Bloody nice mate. Don't know how you find the time for all those games. Never seen such a great collection of oldies in the one place.

Awesome Gavin..

I too, think the Metro looks beautiful, and to see the woodrails lined up is a sight to behold.. I remember the troubles you went to with the Harvey !!! Great to see it working...

Make some room for the juke box, mate - It will look right at home  && &&

Your garage has set the standard..  #@#

Well there are actually 2 arcades in there too that i forgot to take pics of - LOL!

One is a cocktail. This will be moved to the garage for restore and then sold and the juke takes its place.

The juke really will be the cherry on top of my cake - im also after a coin operated TV - the type in cheap motels years ago
