I got my Gamesroom last year. The wife calls it the black hole. In there at the moment is a V-39, Jacobs 50, Wurlitzer 1900, Rockola Empress Seeburg JL, a 1950's English Petrol (Gas) Pump, A couple of Seeburg Wallboxes, Two Candy wall hangers, Drive in Movie Speakers, A NY Walk Don't Walk and a few Rock & Roll Posters. Oh and my newest toy a Dole Dispenser.

Like Bubba, I don't currently have a Gameroom. YET.... I just put my house on the market yesterday and am getting ready to finalize the construction plans for my new home. Going from a 3 bdr. 1700 sq. ft. on a slab to a 4 bdr. 2100 sq. ft. over a full basement!! A Gameroom is definitely in the plans.
Also like Bubba, my stuff is sorta spread out around the house. Right now I have:
1969 Gottlieb Airport EM Pinball, 1976 Gottlieb Spirit of 76 EM Pinball, Stoner Jr. Candy Machine, 1954 Seeburg M100BL Jukebox, Cavalier 55 Coca Cola Machine, Vendo 210 Ice Cream Machine, Vendo Coin Changer, various antique tube radios and other paper/cardboard/metal advertising.
Just a quick question for the guys/gals that either built their gamerooms from scratch or re-wired. What sort of circuit protection did you go with? I know a lot of people go with power strips/plug in surge protectors, but did any of you go another direction? Just curious.

Brian,
When I biult my gameroom at my last house(Photo Gallery), I utilized wall switches to control the top half of outlets so I wouldn't have to turn each coin-op individually. Certain wall switches would turn on certain outlets, thus turning on whatever coin-ops where plugged into that particular recepticle. The bottom recepticles where always hot so that if I had a soda machine plugged in, it would function independently of the wall switch that controled the top half.
This worked quite well for me...

If you are building the house tell the electrican what you want in the room. Coke machines etc. He will then make sure the electrical can handle the load. Most normal bedrooms have all the outlets on one 15 amp breaker. I would think you need at least 3 20 amp circuit breakers & plenty of outlets for your toys. Extra is good not enough outlets is fire hazard.
Good luck

Over 11k were made. You can probably find one.

I don't have a gameroom yet, but I know where it will be. It all depends on the longevity and whims of various family members. In other words, one day I will inherit the place where I will have my gameroom. There is a three-car stand-alone garage on the property, and I plan on dividing it into thirds: one will be the sports lounge, one will be a Coke diner, and the remaining third will be, well, a garage/workroom. All I need to do is put up interior walls and put in a 1/2 bath. It already has water, A/C and cable.
One day......
One day......

My first game Room was just that, nothing but my stuff. then we moved and it became the family room on one side and my stuff on the other... the family room started creeping over to my side and I kept getting pushed over. Now where moving, and just finished packing most of the stuff up last night... Alot of boxes, bubblewrap, blankets and packing peanuts... Where still looking for the new house, but rest assured the Game Room Area is the first thing I'm looking for in the new house... New photos and such will be posted once it's set up sometime this fall/winter.
My most recent photos are on the gallery.
