Not an arcade game trade, but some other cool stuff.

Roy PM'd me last week and told me he likes my arcade a lot. (Thank you sir)

He said he might have a piece or two from his home that would be suitable for display in The Lost Highway Arcade. We figured we'd do a swap, so I dug out some things I thought Roy would like, we sent each other pics of the items, and well, here's the ones I received.

A cool antique flashlight with just enough rust mixed in with the red. (right next to the skateboard; this is the floor of the emergency booth)

An antique wall mounted mailbox, with the frosted glass and key lock on the bottom to remove the mail. "In-Vu" mailbox, Rochester NY says the tag. I couldn't find any information on it, but I think its pretty old. I put the geiger counter instructions and 2 Lost Highway Cinema tickets inside it. Its mounted to the Emergency Booth.

A plastic P-51 tether plane. Perfect for a little extra bling with the mural. I mounted it to the right utility pole with a length of coat hanger. I tried to make it look like it is swooping in to take on the UFO.

Some pics of the Emergency Booth. I mounted a morse code telegraph key above the breaker box. Jim (YodaInMn) gave it to me last weekend. Thanks bro

Also, thanks bottlejunkie for thinking of me and sending me the cool additions!
 
Looks awesome, John! When did you put the lights in the gas mask "eyes"? That looks cool and creepy at the same time.
 
Looks good just a thought the picture of the mural with the lights out looks awesom have you thought of putting dashed lines on your floor to further the look of the highway! But once again great looking additions

Awesome! Also, i agree; the lights in the eyes do look badass! Reminds me of that robot ghost in the intro to scooby-doo. Creepy cool.

Its not lights, its blacklight paint. I just painted it on the lenses of the mask....

I did that maybe a couple of months ago. Ups the creep factor a little.

A lot of guys have mentioned this; its a good idea. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Stay tuned....
 
You know what I REALLY like about your space? You have a theme, you stick with that theme, and despite the amount of stuff you have FOR that theme, it is not overdone or cluttered.

WELL PLAYED!

Very nice space.
