Two Rooms of Cabinets & Pinball
The garage arcade with four uprights and the pinball row, plus the inside game room with the candy cab and cocktail — six cabinets and four pins in all.
Sony PVM · BVM · LMD
A working museum of Sony professional video — thirteen units across eight models, documented in the Trinitron Fleet magazine.
Nintendo · Sega · NEC · Sony
From front-loader NES to the PC Engine Duo-R and Turbo Express — the home hardware that feeds the CRTs, much of it RGB-modded or restored.
Fifty-Two Game Boards
The whole PlayChoice-10 library as bare green boards, photographed one by one — plus ten conversions and custom builds, and what each label and code tells you.
Toppers, Cards & Lit Retail Signs
Nineteen original PlayChoice-10 arcade toppers, eighteen NOS VS. instruction cards, and the Nintendo retail signage that told a shop floor what was inside.
Twenty-One Player’s Guides
Nintendo’s official strategy guides, photographed cover by cover — the SNES years, from A Link to the Past to Chrono Trigger.
Sixty Foreverspin Tops
One shape turned in thirty-five metals, from 6 g magnesium to 60 g tungsten, plus twenty-five mystery tops and limited editions — each photographed off its base.
Photos & Video from the Arcade
The growing photo and video log — new shots from the garage land here as they happen.
Monographs, Guides & Magazines
Twelve long reads from the collection — the AMS-100 monograph, the PVM-20L5 buying guide, Trinitron Fleet, the Orlandu 100 and 50, and more.
Current & Completed Projects
Repairs, rebuilds, and restorations — from pinball board swaps to arcade PSU rebuilds and CRT calibration.

The reading room
The Sony AMS-100 Has No Written History
The primary literature on Sony’s modular audio confidence monitor — the frame, the board system, a registry of documented units, and the market record.
Trinitron Fleet, Vol. 1
The interactive magazine on the monitor fleet — every model with its full spec sheet, the battle of the twenties, and how to speak broadcast.
What to Check Before You Buy a PVM-20L5
The geometry grid, judging a tube with no hours counter, what to pay — and why you should drive to it rather than ship it.
