    They look like some Meridian 205 monos. I've always wanted a set of those. Very nice!
    DIY is fine and dandy, but just try selling it on!

    They are indeed and they were the key to taking the whole system up a level.
    I got them for about three hundred quid on eBay and have never looked back - they are gorgeous

    You must really like Miles Davis's 'Sketches of Spain', to have gone to the trouble of decorating the wall to look like the record sleeve.

    I do, but it's also because it's such an iconic cover, IMHO.
    I was working for Tower Records when I did it and got the store artist to make the lettering on the vinyl cutter, though I painted the wall - deliberately "washy" like the LP sleeve - and Miles and the bull myself before applying the stickers on top.
    I love the effect though I often wonder if I ever move whether I should paint over it before putting the place on the market.
    My first instinct is a solid "NO!"

    As for the arcade machine, it does have Galaxian like I said, but there are three games that aren't on there that I would really like. No, make that four - I've just thought of another one. Two of them are by Atari - Battlezone and Asteroids, which I spent loads of 10ps on when I was a kid. The Battlezone would be hard though, given the controls were so unique.
    The other two would be Williams' Defender (which I've got on a PC emulator) and the classic, Scramble. My god, I loved that game. I actually completed it at the funfair one year before the owner of the arcade kicked me out ! I spent ten pence and was in there for half an hour
