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.
