That arcade is the shiznit. Too cool. And the basement is looking great!

I’ll be right over with a roll of quarters!

Not a car, but definitely before and after....

Thanks. The processor is a Jamma 60 in 1 board with the original codes. 60 arcade games including all the Pac Man's, all Donkey Kongs, Millipede, Centipede, Galaxa, Galaxian, Time Pilot, Mappy...etc. Lots of fun!
My friend refurbishes arcades as a hobby, and I got mine from him. He had already upgraded the CPU & controls, and replaced the tube monitor with an LCD. I painted the cabinet, swapped out the fluorescent light in the marquee with an LED bar, and added a second speaker.

I also have a Raspberry pi with the RetroPi arcade OS with the ability to play classic console games loaded up - everyting from Atari up to N64.

I had to do something during this lockdown...

With those portholes, it could be in Thailand.

Not the look I'm going for.... :o

Work in progress for the little island between my driveways. Two Queen Palm infected with Fusarium Blight so dropped them today. Friend coming over tomorrow morning to extract stumps and root balls for me. Then I re-plant. Mulling over replacements right now. So far the double trunk Piccabeen Palms are in the lead.....I have 3 of them in 15 gal. pots. Would look very cool. Would have to take out the Dracaena though, which is do-able.

Like a fine wine I prefer the after with these exceptions, and wish there were more like them.

For some reason I keep seeing this with the round ball like light bulbs in the sockets. I know it wouldn't be 'period' looking, but I think it'd be cool with them.

All I can think of right now is "how do they surgically remove an adam's apple? Bleek!!
