Besides the obvious....that I/guests need to play some games and get some scores posted.....how does this score board look so far? The second set of scores are for anyone under 10 or so.......or more specifically....for my daughters...

Been wanting to put this board up for a while....and finally did....so now flame away and let me know what I need to change! ;-)

Looks incredible and is an awesome solution for scoreboard...definitely has that retro feel to it :)
 
Love it! Reminds me of the menu board at the old Fireside roller rink in Schaumburg IL, they had some great games at that place.
 
Looks great, I'm planning to put the same in my gameroom. Is that a used sign, or new from one of those school supply sites?

Also, have you had any issues with running out of certain numbers/letters? I was thinking I may have to make some molds and cast extras just in case ..

Thats frickin sweet! I have to ask, what is the prize for beating a high score?

You get a nifty button and a high score certificate! And actually....I give them out to all the kids that come to the arcade. This certificate for my youngest daughter....it was an 'honorary' one for her favorite game at that time. Which as most fathers would agree....is a chance to resolve the traumatic issues which seemingly occur for the second place finishers......;)

A big thanks to Brett (nutballchamp) for guiding me along the purchase route. :) There are a silly amount of options when buying one of these signs.........and prepare to sell a game or two to actually own one (non-working games of course!). I tried many other avenues to get a high score board rolling but always fell back to this classic style - which is exactly what I remember seeing in the 1970's.

This sign is 30" X 24"....which is on the smaller side....but it seems to fit the space well where I have it....

Yep....new sign from a school supply site. And yes....you have to buy a silly amount of number/letter sets to be able to put a board together....

That was my hang out. :) I lived about a mile or 2 from it. The 7-11 in front of it was our hang out too. I also worked at the Little Caesars that was next door. Crazy!

That looks great! Love the rocket, very creative.
That Sprint 2 score...WOW. What track was that on? You must be in 4th gear almost the entire race to get a score like that.
 
Excellent looking board. I like it! Great custom prizes for placing first, too. You really went all out. :)
 
Looks great! ;)
