* As noted in the trope description, it's not uncommon for hobbyists to build an entire machine from scratch as a project. As long as you already have some skill in computers, electronics, woodworking, and art, creating a custom arcade machine can be done for a few hundred dollars instead of a few thousand. Pinball machines are another matter, as their construction requires levels of precision very difficult to achieve at home.
