9 seats from a 1980's general cinema theater - at my local mall.

I am building a small thater room, that will by next to my little home arcade.

As for my projector? well I fixed a game for a guy, and he gave me a nonworking HD65 projector.. I fixed the projector in less then 1 hour. The guy was a smoker, and the color wheel inside the projector was all tared up, and would not allow light to pass to color wheel.

As for my projector screen, my local fabric store had screen material on half off. I made a 110" wide screen for about $25 bucks total. made a frame from 1x4 and and stapled the screen around the frame i made.

Looks good, I dont have alot of photos.

That is extremely cool! One day, when I am King, I'll have a movie theater in my house. For now, an arcade will have to suffice.
 
Those are awesome. I wonder if my wife would let me install some of these into our living room. :)
 
We used ours all the time, but know I have a pinball row in front of the screen.The side that had the seating has no seating anymore because I have pins over there too.Damn this hobby!
 
pay phone

Yeah, I have a friend that worked on payphones. it is inop now, because it is a newer phone, and they shop down if they dont call in a report money in. (battery charging circuit shuts down- i think)

as far as the seats go, They were on craigs list :)

seats need steam cleaned, and trim repainted. I need to build/carpet a small plat form to bold them on to, they are not stable unless bolted down.

thanks
chris
