I put up another utility pole tonite. Here's a link to the first pole erected on the smaller side of my arcade in case you missed it:

The pole I put up tonite is the "quartered" section from the pole in the above thread/link. Fits nicely in the corner.

I cut a crossbar for it, drilled an inch and a quarter hole for the wooden insulator mount, added the insulator and then attached the crossbar to the back of a pole with a small bracket. I anchored the pole to the wall with an "L" bracket. I cut a small crossbar support as well and screwed that into place.

I moved Asteroids out of the corner and left some space there to make it look bigger; which worked. I moved the pilot over there as well. At his feet is a WWII EE-8B radiotelephone.

Pic #1: The pilot's corner

Pic #2: Same view but farther back so you can get an idea of what that corner really looks like.

Pic #3: Wizard of Wor corner(directly to the pilot's right) complete with utility pole, high score board(need letters and numbers yet), candy machine, movie theater speaker and wooden Nash skateboard I bought in 1978.

Pic #4: Wizard corner no camera flash.

Another great addition! That high score board is a lot bigger than it looked in the other thread when you bought it.
 
Very cool. I swear, one day I'm gonna sign on and find out that you've installed real desert sand onto the floor. :)
 
That dude in the corner would last 3 mins at my place. My wife would have a heart attack the first time she turned the corner and saw it. Love it.

Glad you like him. I have 2 pilots; one on the larger side as well. They scared my wife last nite when she came down to play Centipede because I had moved them....ha ha
