New sign for the basement

[AlexHorse]

Was at an antique store yesterday and came across this. Mostly remember playing games at arcades in the mall as a kid so thought it would be a perfect addition to the basement

Love the sign and the vintage basement decor

Nice.
Looks like the basement in my house in 1975!

Dude! We need to see more pics of that basement. Total memory lane right there.

he's posted some previously, but 100% agree.
there's a lot of cool basements on KLOV with arcade posters/krazy karpet/blacklighting, but this has to be one of the most unique and era-authentic. i'd start smoking again if i had a basement like that just to complete the aesthetic

I'm sure you can source some niccotine stained drop cieling tiles from your local bowling alley to add to the aesthetic.

Wood grain and drop ceiling is on point. Well done.

Yuck.

Tri-sodium phosphate does a great job of cleaning that crud off the gridwork. I did that once for a friend.

haha yup! I keep them on all my games for people to put quarters in. I just make sure to explain right away that they're for quarters only

Did you remodel your basement to make it look 70s or is it vintage? Either way, it's frickin awesome.

Actually that's how the basement was when I bought the place. All I did was add the games and stuff on the walls. Ceiling, walls and carpet were all original

If it wasn't for the LED matrix sign, you'd think that photo was early 80s.

If that was my basement, I would add a 25 inch console tv, old couch and some classic gaming systems. I would even remove anything that was current at all.
