The most Machines you've had working and playable at once ?

I know I have a pretty modest collection, and several users here have machines in warehouses and such... but how many machines working, powered and usable (at 1 location) have you ever had running at once ?

Don't have to name them all, just wondering.

My #'s 15 which includes an Airhockey Table.
 
24 Vid's (10 full size, 12 mini's of some variation and 2 cocktails) plus 1 pinball just 2 days ago.
 
29 including a pinball and dart machine. Currently, in my arcade(s) every game but 2 are working. My Space Wars monitor chassis is out for repair and my Rampage Sounds Good board is also out for repair. There were 4 non-working up to this weekend, but I finally got my Tempest working Saturday and after some messing around, the sound came back on my Q*bert. A month ago, there were 5 non-working. So I feel pretty good right now knowing I am two away from everything working (not including garage projects and basket cases). That of course can change anytime.
 
I think I am at 25 vids, a pin, a dart cab, and a jukebox. All working (knock on wood)... well, Battlezone works when that bitch wants to work, but other than that, all working all the time.

:)
 
I have all 41 games working down in the arcade. I just picked up a project game knowing I had to do repair work but that is sitting in the garage.
 
27 vids, right now. Will be 28 when my new Arabian arrives later this week.

Only my Tempest is giving me trouble at the moment. Need to pull the board set and look for cold solder on the header pins. Probably could use new ribbon cables too. Both A/R II and edge connector have already been rebuilt, and the 6100 already has an LV2000. Don't think big blue has been replaced yet though. Hope I got all that right. I'm not nearly as good at troubleshooting and repairing games as many of you are, and have trouble keeping track of what are the common problems and repairs and workarounds.
 
20 video games
1 dart board
5 Pachin-ko machines
2 Pachi-slots
1 pin
1 jukebox
2 kinetic gumball machines
1 toy claw machine

That doesn't count the 3 or 4 working games stored in the garage and the 4 or 5 in the storage unit. Or the way-too-many-to-even-think-about-counting projects in the garage and the storage unit.

I'm always scared to answer questions like this one...saying a machine now works sometimes seems to almost guarantee it will go down shortly :) .

With that said, I can say that all of my 28 vids and my 2 pins remain in 100% working order, and are all set up and ready to play :D . I like to think that all of the upgrades I have installed over the years (switching or rebuilt power supplies, new or capped monitors, LV2000 kits, new Amplifone flybacks, new Big Blue capacitors, reflowed solder on most major connections, etc., etc.) help to keep thing going.

Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself...

As of today, I had 14 games on at my place, 12 vids and 2 pins. Should have been 15 games, but Pole Position II was being cranky.

Vids:
Smash TV
Tekken 3
Missile Command/Super Missile Attack
Asteroids
Centipede/Millipede
Rush the Rock
Rush the Rock
Jrok Multi-Williams
World Series the Season
Atari Football
Toobin'
60-1

Pinball:
Last Action Hero
Bally Game Show

I had scheduled today to receive 3 cabs from a friend who wants me to get them working for him, including a Williams Duramold that used to be a Blaster. He gave me a strange Multi board to put in it that has Robotron, Joust, Defender, Stargate, Ghosts And Goblins, Mario Brothers, Super Mario, Bubbles and possibly others. It is about the same size as a 60 -1, and is dated 2006. I will fire it up tomorrow and check it out - hopefully it will work. Once I get his projects out the door, I will be adding Big Buck Hunter and Ikari Warriors to the mix; at this moment they are at the x-wifes place.
 
13 pins and over 70 vids right now, along with the token machine, jukebox, and token pusher. Had over 80 vids before the pool table. Only one game down right now, Paperboy. Connector/power problems.
 
After a LOT of work before the Super Bowl, currently at 6 pins, 5 vids and an air hockey table.

Pins:
Revenge from Mars
The Addams Family
Funhouse
T2
No Fear
Whirlwind

Vids:
Ms Pac Man cocktail
Dig Dug cocktail
Donkey Kong cocktail
DK Jr Upright
Nintendo Dual Vs. Upright (hey that should count as two)
 
I have 43 in my room and can squeeze two more in, if I really want to. All 43 are currently working, including all marquees, monitors, boards, and coin lights.

I'm am just about done saving a Mr. Do! That someone converted to some jama game, it's in a nice original Universal cabinet. (Mr.Do! Is a blast to play!)
 
I'm at 12 (soon 13 once I make a pickup) vids, 1 pin and a claw right now, that's pretty much max capacity for me. I'm already running them on two different circuits and they still blow one occasionally, plus I'm almost entirely out of space.
 
I'd guess somewhere around 20 at the old house. I had 25 machines over there but I can't remember a day where all of them all worked at the same time.
