Just what every home arcade needs

Somewhat pricey, but very cool IMO.

If only I had the room... and the money!

I got a small Padalone desk light on top of my yellow clock. PAC-Man colors and the clock looks like something out of the 80’s. Makes for a great retro display.

I got this one quite a while back, but now it's available only in aftermarket and is outrageously overpriced.

Still have mine BNIB (almost - I did test it initially) until I get the basement office back in order. I refuse to sell it though I could probably get 6x the price I paid. I love this clock.

Cool 

It's a cool clock, but mine doesn't keep time very well. Still, another clock wasn't the motivation.

I collected a lot of stuff like this while the arcade boom was peaking, which is what I believe led to things like Arcade 1up, although I admit that found those units to be incredibly cheaply built, but fit the bill for many since they offered a quick nostalgia fix for those not wanting to dive into a full time hobby.

Not sure if I ever linked it before but for reference here’s my basement. I do love the kitsch items like the lamps and figures but for me I also had to be able to hang it or shelf it. I went with the cloth wall tapestries, framed magazine ads, even got a few different light switch covers I found online.

I wanted the decorative clutter, but I wanted to make sure it took up as little space as possible… And the walls are always a good place to put stuff and not take up desk space! For reference the only two standing Nintendo displays I have left that are taking up floor space are blocking the closets. I got rid of the third one and I’m thinking about getting rid of these two as well just because they’re in the way sometimes. But I like them!

Basements are always good for something! But as for money… I used to have things that had numbers and were green paper! I miss those days! LOL

Few basements to be found in Florida! My office space is a major wreck and in dire need of attention before I am evicted from the dining room! LOL!

Why is that might I ask?

[Draco1962]

Much closer to the water table. Most would be inside swimming pools!
