Yeah, the huge control panel kinda' gives it away, doesn't it? '<img'>
Not sure, but it works really well as a Golden Tee. I just wish the control panel were smaller. Someday I'll redo it.

I also have a jamma board and marquee for "Golden Tee 2K", so I will be upgrading it with that 2 year jump too.

I'm just curious, Mark.....What's next for your gameroom?? Do you have an antique theatre popcorn machine? Oh yeah, did you ever end up getting those stanchions and velvet ropes?

Thanks for thinking of me Brian.
Yes I have the popcorn machine in my dedicated home theater's "lobby", right on top of the glass candy counter.
It tastes just like it does in the theater... yum!

But regarding the gameroom...
I now have 4 arcade games (one of them with 40 games in it) and one of them is the sit-down "cocktail table" style. Then 4 pinball machines, a pool table and a Ping-Pong table top that goes on top of the pool table, a foosball table, a three-head candy machine, a tall pub table with tall stools, my new 1972 jukebox, a Cavalier CS-64 Coke machine and various street signs, movie banners, antique round Coca-Cola sign, Fallout Shelter sign, etc. hanging on the walls. Just yesterday I got an authentic Stop Sign for $8. Tomorrow I am picking up this working payphone to put on the wall in the lobby:

I think your next stop is NEON!


...and a wallbox!

I am actually trying to find a not too expensive neon sign for Summit Beer, which is good beer brewed here in Minnesota. There is a hole-in-the-wall pizza joint not far from me which has one in the window. I'm thinking of going in there and offering them money for it. That way I don't have to worry about competing eBay bidders and breakage during shipping or anything.

Oh and my friend's dad has a cool old wooden phone booth in his basement, complete with the ceiling light that comes on when you shut the door. I'm going to ask him if I could buy it from him. It would look so cool (and appropriate) in the corner of my theater lobby! But I don't know if he will part with it. But I gotta try!!!

Very kewl setup. A wallmount "Pull in case of fire" unit and you will have all the public place items covered. Around here if you take a Neon sign class you get to make a project. It's fun stuff. Just an idea.

Hey Markito,

On Saturday October 15th there will be a Vintage Beer collectibles show at Aldrich Arena in Maplewood from 10 - 3. I don't gaurantee that you will find a Summit neon but there should be plenty of other neons there. This is the largest show beer show in the Midwest with 300+ tables of beer items.

Kito, How big is your game room? Deminsions.

Perhaps one day I'll be able to add on to my garage and start one.
 
My daughter has been asking for one ever since she was 7. She loves to play pool.
Has friends over every weekend and it would be great to have a place for her to entertain.
Plus a place for my cvc168 and Cavalier 22.

Since I now have the Skee-Ball game, and I recently bought a working payphone, I am in the works to acquire a phonebooth to go with the phone in my home theater's "lobby", near the gameroom.
I'll let you know when/if I get it.
