I want to thank Brian for making this one of a kind plastic decal/tag for my 80 year old auditorium/theater seat #4.

Bought these seats at a swap meet in May. They were from a group of over 300 taken from the Lake City H.S. auditorium. They are from the 1930's. Seats #1, 2, and 3 had their original metal tags on the seatbacks. The seat row tag(B) on the arm of seat #4 was also intact. Seat #4 was missing the seatback tag. Can't imagine EVER finding one, so I asked prOk to make one. He did, and it is just perfect. It's even recessed(the black part), and had a sticky back to help keep it tight to the seat.

Looks crooked you say? It is. Seat #1 is the only tag that is straight! Adds character to the originality of the whole thing.

Pics #1 and #2: prOk's #4 tag/decal installed.

Pic #3: Seats #3 and #4(#4 pre-tag installation)

Pic #4: A view of the 4 seat line up(also pre-tag installation)

Man, nice chairs and I love Creepshow! Especially the tobacco Indian and the one where they're on the deck out in the water with the black blob.
 
Looks nice there Johnny boy! Hows the overlay coming out?

It's still sitting on the bench Jim. I think I'll leave it until tomorrow morning just to be sure.

Thanks for coming over and taking care of things.

Jim's help today includes:

-Putting an NOS Willis cpo on my Centipede cp.

-installing a new Big Blue on my Asteroids

-offering to wire up my 1970's Regency CB radio to the loudspeaker on my emergency booth(will finish it upon next visit)

You rock Jim! Thanks again....
 
looks good, john! i don't know if i've said this before, but sea wolf just looks right there next to the telephone pole...

Right on. Without the flash of the camera the whole setup looks better. The wall light in between the 2 Creepshow posters is actually a dim blue, adding to the overall ambience. I'd like to find a nice theater "lamp" instead of just having the raw bulb hanging there.

It's a good place to sit and have a beer and just soak it all in.....

one thought i have on the light, is the industrial style kind of like the light on the containment units in ghostbusters. i think it would fit right in, you could color the lens to make it blue or whatever too.

Hell, that's perfect. Where could I get one of those? Oh, wait a minute. That's a Lowe's product?
 
I know my local Lowes has the same light, minus the pipe extension (so it mounts on the wall) in stock for around $25. I was going to put one in my gameroom but it was a bit to big for where I wanted to put it.

The seats look awesome, John. Prok does outstanding work. The only thing that I would change is I would swap the Creepshow posters so that #2 was on the right. But that's just my OCD kicking in, lol.

Yep, #2 should be on the right. Thanks for the input everybody. Different sets of eyes always make a difference!
 
Awesome arcade, GorfChampion! You're the only person I know who also owns a Creepshow 2 poster. For a movie that was almost universally panned, it's one of my faves.

Thanks for the comments Pete. I love decorating my arcade! And I love Creepshow 2 even if you and I and 4 other people worldwide are the only ones who do....

Oh by the way, both posters are original one-sheets.
 
Those seats are definitely awesome. A friend of mine had an original row from an old bowling alley. They were great for watching movies. Incidentally, I've only seen Creepshow (1) and not the second one. Any better/worse than the first?

Terry, I personally like Creepshow 2 better than 1. You have to see it! "The Raft" from Creepshow 2 is my personal favorite.
