Hey gang,

I've got a nice little home arcade setup in my house now and the only thing it's missing is a high score board.

In the past, I've used a white board for this and that works alright. I had been looking at an LED Fluorescent writing illuminated menu-style board but I wanted to get your opinions.

If you have a High Score board that works for you or just have a suggestion, I'd love to hear it.

Sounds like a cool idea you could use a LED that would be cool and maybe it could say something like WELCOME TO THE ARCADE or whatever that could scroll on the bottom..... so yeah i would do that!
 
I picked this up at a garage sale for free. It's old, 70s for sure. It's 2ft x 4ft.

One idea that I'm going to do one of these days is to get one of the larger digital photo frames (since they're fairly cheap now) and maybe make a custom frame of some kind for it, then create a .jpg with a current list of high scores (you could use an arcade font in photoshop or something similar), and you could have it do a slideshow with this pic, as well as actual screenshots showing the high score on a particular game. It would be a bit more work than just writing it on a board, though - but I think it would be cool. I'd call it the "Pics or it Didn't Happen High Score Board"... :D
 
I have a conference room style whiteboard for high scores one side is lined out for scores, the other side designed for messages like "welcome to KLOV Party"

I've got a black felt letter board similar to what gorfchampion posted (there are a handful of people here with the same style board). I think they look fantastic and fit right in with 80s games. The only downside really is the initial cost, since the boards aren't cheap and you need a few sets of letters.
