I'm sure if I kept at it I'd figure out how to get a better finish but I gave up.
But I like your pub theme, especially the jukeboxes and the booth. Having been in the toy/game biz all my life my basement is populated with a couple of commercial video games, a Williams pinball, a pool table, and a 45 juke box but it's not pretty lol. It's the kind where you don't see much of the mechanism, but it works. My kids and now my grandkids have a ball down there.
Anyway... that setup of yours looks incredible. Beautiful job.

Thanks!
I can't take credit for the facade woodwork. There is a local woodworker who did that for me and he does beautiful work. I did the trimwork, but I usually learn by trial and error. Lots of errors. LOL. When I was doing the wallpapering, the wallpaper kept falling over and I ended up getting more glue on my head than on the wall.
I keep picking up jukeboxes and I have six of them. The Seeburg 220 45 jukebox in the picture I got when a family friend passed away. Based on the quarters that were in it, it probably did not run for 20 years. It's fun for me to fix them up.
Thanks for the compliments on the pub. At first, I was thinking of making a 50's diner since that would fit the jukeboxes better, but most 50's diner pictures look like they have a lot of plastic and coca-cola type red and white colors. They are pretty cool, but not a place I want to hang out in at night when my wife and kid are hogging the TV's and I want to relax.
What do you have for commercial video games? Are they full size arcade games?
For your 45 jukebox, who made it? Got any pictures?
All jukeboxes are awesome.
