I will be offering my arsenal of parts, mods, testers, tools, board and game repair, and of course, install of my anyPin NVRAM Battery Eliminators.

anyPin NVRAM Battery Eliminator Install-
For those bringing games to the show for others to enjoy in the free play area, I'm offering free anyPin install for the games you bring to the show. Bring me the board from the game, and your anyPin NVRAM, and I'll hand it back to you with a professionally installed RAM socket and no more batteries will ever be required for your game again.

I'll offer the same install for anyone bringing me their CPU at the show, but don't have it there in the free play area, for only $15.

Board and Game Repair-
Everything is first come first served, no appointments. Not everything may get done at the show. If it doesn't get done at the show, it will be shipped back to you after it's finished. Priority will always go to games that are at the show. I usually get pretty swamped pretty quickly, so please don't bring me a board Saturday evening and expect it to be done at the show.

Currently Bally/Williams WPC boards will be done at these shows with the possibility of System 11 and DE/Sega boards done at the show depending on how busy I get. No sound boards will be done at shows.

All anyPin NVRAM Battery Eliminator installs will be done at the show.

One new and kind of cool thing I'm doing this year is Pinball Recycling. I'll have a bucket for folks to deposit their old, used, unwanted pinballs into. The balls will be assessed, really bad balls will go to a metal recycler. Some will go to home brew projects like large gumball machines, art projects and the like. The really exceptional ones may get sold as show souvenirs after being cleaned and polished up. All proceeds from any such sales will go to Taro's Legacy Fund charity.

GSPF is always a good time and is only getting better.

PatZ is a possibility, I'm still trying to cut back on shows, so I'm not quite sure just yet.

Undecided on attending Texas right now.

As for ball assessment, if someone is OK with their balls being recycled, or run through a gumball machine, I guess I'd have to consider on a case by case basis.

Antar doesn't get to set the schedule just yet, he's only seven months old after all.

His training is going very well though, so he'll definitely be accompanying me in my travels.

Yeah, calling me a dick is a good way to convince me to go.

Now you're talking! But wait, are you talking Bryan Kelly beer, or real beer? This may be the deciding factor.

Hmmmm...well, since I'm actually not much of a drinker, yes it definitely matters. When I do drink, I want to drink something I enjoy.

You so funny. This story seems to change the more time passes.

Just so I'm not pulled into your beer smuggling crime syndicate, and as a refresher for your ageing brain...you asked me if you could store some beer in my booth for the show. I didn't see any problem with it, and wasn't aware at the time, that the hotel was confiscating outside beer.

I also had no idea when you said "some beer" that you meant a literal hotel luggage cart full of beer.

Does Deb know you're such a bad influence on the younger generation of pinheads?

I would love to come back to Allentown. Just doesn't seem to be in the cards though.

Thanks guys, I greatly appreciate the comments. I would love to do all the shows, but it's just not possible any more.

Really looking forward to the ones I'm doing, and seeing all my friends across the country.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Banning Arcade Expo. Maybe I'll make it there in the future.
