Well done! I like the chosen combination of colours and the neon signs you bought will indeed look great in your gameroom.

I got something really nice today for my gameroom. I oredered it already almost a month ago, but finally it arrived a my place

Because I knew that the content was very fragile, I was very pleased to see how it was packed. One of the most thoroughly well done parcels that I ever saw, and this goes for the box and for the way the content was protected.





Thanks for the nail clipper.  :lol:  I assume that it is a gift. What kind of neon could be in it, it costed me only US$ 10  :lol:  But fortunately the neon was the one that I ordered. The US$ 10 must have ben to fool customs.  ;D  Check out how good it is packed.







And here it is, alive and well. Watch the reflection for the correct colors, for some reason my camera can't fetch the good colors directly from the neon.



I think that it is great and I sure will order more from the guy. He has great clippers!!  :lol:

I love these neon signs, but they wash out everything with bright light in the dark gameroom.  I was considering finding lightly smoked plexiglass to put over the front of my neons, that way you could enjoy the signs without them overpowering the room.

It was beautiful weather over here today, and what did I do? I was working my ash off, transporting all my games from the temporary storage to my gameroom, finally.  8) ;D  Not that the gameroom is completely finished, but I didn´t want to rent space any longer if it is not really necessary.

I only decided it Friday, and therefore I only could rent a 12 m3 little van, which meant three drives. But that was OK, I had enogh free mileage and the rent was not that expensive. I didn´t only move games, but also all kind of household furniture.

Anyway, the following few photo´s are fom the last drive, this afternoon. In it is a Star Wars cockpit (@André, do you still have the missing woodden board?), an Asteroids, a Sega New Astro City, and in the back my first cab ever, a self-build Mame cab.







So, finally all the games are back at home. Unfortunately the gameroom doesn´t look like a gameroom, it looks like a Warehouse!!  :lol:  I had to shove in the games pretty quick and won´t have time to re-arrange all the games for the coming weeks. Therefore no pics of the chaos in the room.

I see nothing missing on that SW ?  ;D ;D ;D

yeah I think I got that backdoor here somewhere, I use it as an underlay whenever I have to spray paint stuff..... ;D ;D ;D

I didn't remember we removed the original tube too though, do I have that here too ? I do know I have the NOS one here safely on my attic....would be nice to get rid of it somewhere in summer ;);)

I have the original tube in my attic, it´s just the tube, the ´neck´ electronics are in the box with the NOS tube.
