The 80's Arcade
« on: July 04, 2014, 09:42:40 AM »
After several years of collecting, repairing and storing my cabs about 5 different places, seems like my gameroom is ready. ;D
I call it simply the "80's Arcade", there are no modern stuff in there, everything is from the late 70's and 80's. ;)
Long story short, we had an approx. 52m2 large living room at the ground floor of our house, it was built in the 80's and it really needed a restore by now, but let the pics speak.















Replaced all the old aluminium wires with copper ones









We had a visitor every day :D









Our McGyver solution instead of the rusty radiator. :D




And finally, the cabs inside ;D














































I also made 2 videos (daylight/dark), but freakin youtube removed the sound from one, because of copyright issues, they have an automatic sound analyzer software and it recognized John William's Star  Wars main theme. :P

The other one is in Etienne's NAS, you can download it here(this is better IMHO, worth a watch):

At last, I would like to send my huge thanks to everybody who helped to buy, transport, repair, store my cabs and for those, who made the brilliant artwork repros, I wouldn't be able to reach this point without this community. :spaceace:
