Well, I finally got pretty well everything into the basement, so I thought I'd set a benchmark. Of course in this hobby I've learned the benchmark is always moving — my collection has and will continue to ebb and flow over the years. But I figured I'd share my humble arcade as so many of you have shown off your great collections. And please forgive the crappy pics … I promise to do this right eventually. The last two in the vector row are Space Duel and Gravitar as that photo is terrible.

Humble my ass. If you're humble then I'm Ghandi. I've never seen a Pro Monaco GP. And the Rock-Ola Armor Attack is too sweet. That's a great collection.
 
Thanks for the compliment! I know when I see some of the work done by others here in regards to their restorations and collections, I'm always inspired. I view mine as survivors —*not pristine, but all working and in decent shape.
 
I like the warrior look. I resto my machines but don't make them pristine. A few arcade battle scars is OK in my collection. It also helps that my machines are played and not museum pieces. A new bang or scrape is nothing to get crazy about and prevents a lot of stress.
 
love the atari vector row.... love the robo next to the smash tv..... love the super sprint next to the gauntlet. good mix of games right there.

great gameroom man.... bravo!
 
What's the deal with the red T-mold on Defender and yellow on Super Pac? Strange for those games.
 
Colored t-molding is cheap and can really make otherwise average games pop. Plus it is super cheap to put "right" if you want to.

Thanks for the kind words fellas. If anyone is ever in northern Alberta, Canada and wants to stop by just let me know …*and bring the beers!
 
Looks like your Jungle King was originally a Space Dungeon. Your cab appears to have a darker, more intense shade of blue, but the color scheme matches. It's too bad Space Dungeon is so rare today. Parts are pretty hard to find, to say nothing of a complete working specimen.
 
Yeah I believe it was. I've tried to get friend to take it from me to restore it to a Space Dungeon (Andre you reading this?) but for now it will sit as Jungle King.
