I suspect all Star Castles are falling apart. :). Mine is rock solid, but the cab will be replaced by a DPTWiz CNC'd cab sometime in the near future. Something falls off of my cab every time I look at it. :)

I have a Star Castle that I got in a deal for a Tempest. I have had Star Castle on my want list for a while, but this one is just sad, it leans real hard to the right because the cabinet is water damaged so bad. I need to get in there and see if the board and monitor are any good, but with that cabinet, it just seems senseless. The guy wouldn't let me have the Tempest unless I bought the Star Castle too.

A lot of the games have been purchased over the past year or so non working, so its been a mad dash to get everything up and running. Sadly star castle and omega race are not going to be repaired in time.

We currently have 3000 square feet of space that is warehouse, but I want to build out 5000 square feet very similar to what you have done. You will definitely need AC. What state are you in?Have you thought about opening it up to the public like CP Pinball does? How many square feet in that building?

She wants to have a graduation party in the arcade. So it's a bunch of teenage kids who have probably never even seen an actual arcade game, or pinball.

So the less complicated I make it the better. If it was for me I have no problems just opening the coin door. But when. You have 100 guest at a party I don't want to have to e/plain oh you have to push this hidden button first then this button. Its fun enough explaining how to start a pinball game.
