It's A Thin Line

When they give up sleeping in a bed.

Because they can get 2 cockpits or 4-5 uprights in their bedroom...if I just toss out this bed/mattress/futon.
 
Whats the max. number of arcades you can collect, before someone goes from cool hobbyist to creepy hoarder?

it's not the number of games as much as how antisocial and unclean the person becomes. To some degree space plays into it. I mean if a guy owns a warehouse and has 400 games nicely spaced out to play he looks like a super collector. If a guy has 100 games packed into a space to where he can't see or walk through it and doesn't have a clue what he owns then he starts to look like a hoarder.

That doesn't apply if you are sleeping in a Star Wars cockpit or an EDOT cuz that's just too cool! I'd say when you start putting machines outside for the elements to destroy, if you have a cab on the side of your house that looks like a melted candle you have a problem.
 
At one point I had 13 broken games in the shared basement of my apartment, and some of them were duplicates!

I think it's creepy if you collect the arcades but don't put any games in them.

Have you ever tried sleeping in a cockpit?

Or are you suggesting converting it into a bed like they turned the upright into a chair?

One is cool.
One is creepy.

If I have to tell you which one is which
your going to see a socal worker knocn on your door in the next few months...with a few dumpsters.
 
Dan, your a game or two from becoming hoarder status.

Now I don't feel as bad about my own game situation.

9 cabinets owned.
8 being worked on here and there.
2 work perfect, but need cap kits.
1 has recently developed board problems.
1 works great and is 99% from me considering it's restore, finished.
 
If you have more non-working arcade games than a redneck has non-running cars on his front lawn.... you may be a hoarder.
:eek:

Anyhow.... I've got 5.... two of which need work. Paddle Battle is nearly impossible to get parts for, beyond PCBs. Not sure what's wrong with my Poker machine, but it's playing blind. Could be something on the monitor, or something somewhere between the board and the monitor. Summer time project.
