Tate here from Ohio.  My arcade collection consist of Bally Vector pinball, bally wizard pinball, donkey kong, centipede, and working on picking up a Outrun turbo.  Also built a 1/2 scale bowling lane that is semi automatic pin setting.  I am getting rid of a shuffleboard table to make room for a row of arcades.  I also just made a post in the tech section about my donkey kong.  Great videos by the way John.

Here are some pics.

I also have a couple videos on youtube.  Here is one showing the semi automatic pin setting.  You physically just have to load the tubes.  You will see a camera by the ball return that does the automatic scoring just like a bowling alley.  Pins, , width of lane are exact half scale and length is 18ft.  There are black lights and white lights for glow bowl or regular bowl.
