    I feel for you guys, moving is always difficult I hope you guys get well soon! I really like the new place and am looking forward to seeing it in action, also love the double doors that is really nice for big machines like cockpit cabinets👍🏻

      Pacscalator Arcade Thanks buddy.
      Yea the double doors I was going to block off thinking I would have extra room but I think they would be much more of a befit left clear.
      You never know I might get a pinball or cockpit in the future who knows.
      I appreciate your support mate.

    Hey Alex, Just a thought why not get a 5.5kva 110v transformer and setup some 110v outlets for the cabs as your going to be basically rewiring the games room.
    Only suggest that because I'm looking at doing it myself.

    9 cabs in a row! Huge. Awful about your arm man. 5 trips?! Thats horrific work. Once you get this space sorted its going to be incredible; no doubt it will take a long time to get everything how you envision. Dude that image of your fall....oh my, not an easy thing to hear! Room looks great. Is there a way to heat it for the winter? Also boards bolted to the concrete will conduct cold from the concrete, you might want to weather seal the concrete then frame out with 2x4's to screw the floor boards to those, and put insulation in the gap between the concrete and floor boards. Just a thought.

    • @TheArcadeArchive
      @TheArcadeArchive  4 года назад +1

      One hell of a move mate I can tell you, don’t want to be doing that for a while I can tell you.
      I’ve got plans to insulate walls and ceiling.
      I won’t bother with the floor Mitch as I will always have shoes on as I’ve got to walk from the house to the arcade.
      The ceiling will be corrugated tin sheets and the walls second hand scaffold boards.
      Think that will look cool.
      Im so happy with the space bro and the amount of games I can fit is perfect for me.
      Thanks for you support as always Mitch 😎👍

    Hahahahaha fcuking hell im crying here, you explaining how you broke your arm, fcuking hell Alex comedy gold "it flopped round and smacked me in the face, then flopped to the ground and i thought...thats broke"
    Glad your ok though bruv i can see you having to have it pinned (long term that might be the best option)
    The room looks a fantastic space and id be doing exactly the same re the windows and the door!
    With the floor how high will that raise it and are you putting a ceiling in, just thinking once you start to board it your narrowing that internal space arent you? also would you not be better to put a loft hatch internally for access to the space above.....wouldnt want you going for a burton again mate hahahaha!

  • @electricadventures
    @electricadventures 4 года назад +1

    New space looks fantastic and will come together really well. Will be interesting following the process over the next period.
    Make sure you don’t overdue it and let your arm heal though. I hope that follow up scan goes ok, but then pinning might be the better option if it isn’t.
    Also hope your partners back is also on the mend, totally understand what that is like.
    But your going to have a fantastic space, that you can setup how you like and definitely have enough room to enjoy both the cabs and the consoles.

    Fair play that was some detail on the break, made me more squeamish than the egg in a mess eating video. 😂
    That setup looks amazing, such a nice space to have, most of us in the UK don't have the luxury of dedicated spaces of this size.
    One thing I would say is to get a dehumidifier, this looks more water tight than my garage, but I run a dehumdifier to take out as much water from the air as possible, the one I have has a small tank or you can connect it to a hose that runs outside.
    Next video you'll have replaced them all with crappy fruit machines and a pac man so you can play with one arm.
    Take care and hope you heal up soon.

    Man im really sorry to here about your arm and you partner. I hope you both feel better, i herniated a disc a couple years ago. Worst pain i ever felt in life. I had to get on a decompression machine at the chiropractor. It was a life save. Have her look into that if you can. On the positive note the arcade rooms look great. 9 cabs is awesome. Cant wait to see the room all done when you heal up. Im up to 7 cabs now myself and trying to get a couple pinballs down the road. Be safe brother and i hope you both get well

    • @TB-TheGoldenAgeGamer
      @TB-TheGoldenAgeGamer 4 года назад

      Nintendo Arcade the decompression machine at the chiropractor puts you in a strap and it will pull you slowly releasing pressure on your disc and getting to go back . I herniated my disc on a friday and couldnt walk for two days until monday when the chiropractor opened. I had to crawl on ground for two days. 30 minutes on the machine and i could walk again. Whatever happens after this she must be vigilant on picking thing up at all times. Get a tens unit if you can to help with the spasms. Sorry i know alot about this. I hope your arm gets better brother. The cabs i own now are 1. Spiderman 4 player sega, 2. Donkey kong, 3 dk jr, 4. Galaga. 5. Pac man cabaret 6. Neo geo, 7 zombie revenge all origals crts

    Hi Alex I hope your arm feels better soon.
    The only bone I have broken is the 5th metacarple on my right hand by falling off a skate board while teaching my daughter how to use it without hurting herself 😅
    That was 5 years ago and I've had no other breaks touch wood.
    But now it seems that at the young age of 47 I might need a hip replacement.
    I am in the arcade business myself and I have a few locations around my local area that are now closed because of this virus.
    I can't complain and it's very sad how so many people have passed away.
    I still work from home by restoring , fixing and rebuilding arcade machines for various people here in Ireland.
    I did comment on one of your previous videos about the sky skipper game that I found on the Pandoras box pcb.
    Anyway congratulations to your good self and your partner on moving into your new house and your new home arcade.
    I hope you both feel better soon and I look forward to your next video.

      Hi Anthony from sunny Ireland 🇮🇪
      Such kind words buddy, thank you.
      Sounds like you’ve got the job I would absolutely love to do.
      I’ve been in the building game since 1987 and fed up with it at the age of 49.
      I bet you’ve got loads of Atari game’s in your arcade ?
      What cabs have you got ?
      I appreciate you might have a lot of modern games but still interested in your set up.
      Must be hard on business like yours.
      I really hope your arcade is able to open up soon and next time I’m in beautiful Ireland I’ll pay you a visit.
      I’ve been meaning to come back and visit county Cork where I believe my family where from hundreds of years ago.
      Anyway take care and thanks for your support 👍

Listening to your arm story was brutal you are a real retro gaming soldier all in the name of getting your megadrive out of the loft, did you tell the wife that bit?! I pulled my rotor cuff badly 3 years back (obviosuly nowhere near as bad as your injury)and I couldnt do bugger all with my right arm for 7 weeks, wife had to help me do pretty much everything, she was not impressed. Great channel, take care stay away from ladders for awhile!

Speaking of pinball, I am not sure what you think of 1UP arcades, but they have a cool pinball machine coming out with a HD screen for a table which might be worth a look if you dont want to spend too much.

    Mate, your very detailed description of what happened made me feel quite anxious. What an ordeal! You're right though Alex, moving house is horrible. We did it Nov 1st last year and it was traumatic, although we didn't have to move nine chuffing arcade cabs and no bones were broken. It'll all be worth it in the end. Hope you both get well and remember this... at least you got the Megadrive! ; )

    Sorry to hear you broke your arm mate, your partner sounds like a lovely person.
    As you said it could have been much worse mate, you dodged a bullet there. Hope it heals quickly and there's no more messing about having it manipulated into position again.
    When my Nan was alive she had a fall and split her head open. We took her to hospital and after they seen her they just left her on a stretcher on a side ward with me by her side for 2 hours. I tried to complain every 30 mins but it fell on deaf ears, it was absoluteley disgusting seeing my 80 year old Nan being treated like that. Whilst people with cotton buds stuck in their ear got seen to quicker.
    Anyway I digress.......

It hadn't been turned on in 10 years and was sitting in a partially covered garage for 10 years, in a bit of snow. Despite that, the cabinet was actually in decent condition.
