The powder coating on the metal rails really made that thing pop. I could have done without the powercoat all over the outside though.

I saw a lot of mis-use/abuse going on as well. At one point I asked the guy who was banging the crap out of the Swords of Fury (non-led version) if it was his machine, and he said, "No, is it yours?" I told him if it was mine, I would have shut if off right away because nobody should treat a machine like that when it is on free play. He just looked at with no response.

KUDOS TO THE SHOW AND ITS ORGANIZERS!!!

This show was great - IMHO, it i much better than the York show. There are more vendors, more machines, and the lighting was better as well. The vendors were nice - it was great to finally meet some of the people I talk to a lot.

Played a bunch of games I had been on the fence about - specifically Swords of Fury and Jackbot. I'll be passing on Swords, Jackbot was a nice game and it played really well. There were a good deal of EM's there as well for sale.

The people who run the show have no control over the nearby food (or lack thereof), so it's hard to blame York for not being as top-notch as Allentown. I grew up in Easton, and the Allentown Fairgrounds was always a cool place to go. I think I spent more money on food today than on pinball parts.

Like I said, IMHO. Weren't the the legs done as well?
