Quoted from grantopia:Was your Dredd the one with the color DMD? That made me want one for mine.

Quoted from PinRob:Didn’t look close enough. Just assumed it was your SMVE. When did you pick his one up?
Traded today but I have the vault so someone can come get this nice Spidey!
Quoted from Lemank:That spirit was amazing! It played so nice. Thanks to all who brought games to the show. They couldn’t do it without you![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
No doubt the backglass illumination was very impressive on Spirit. Photos don't to it justice. Fun game too.
Matt's Interflip Dragon as a treat too - first time I've seen one and it was a blast to play.

I am going to go on a limb. Don has the best atmosphere for an event. Thanks for inviting us to take part in this ever year. I know it's still going strong but this is a lot of fun. I hope that some other shows take a note and allow for midnight closing.
Thanks Donny and company. If you can make it, it's worth it to come out.
Middleburg Heights, OH
Show has been so awesome! Glad I spent all day open til close Thursday and Friday! Was awesome seeing some people I haven't seen in a while, and making some new pinball friends too! Worst thing was having to run back to steal my Rollergames display since the one in my Diner decided it was going to die out from being moved... no biggie! A lot of awesome games there and if you haven't made it yet, get there on Sunday!
Quoted from Matt1724:Had a great time at the show however my main mission failed.... the wife was suppose to play and fall in love with Medieval Madness or Wizard of Oz and neither was represented at the show. Bummer!
There's a nice MMr at Madcap in Kent if you still want to spark her love with one.
The show was great this year! Sorry I had to take the Spiderman out early today, it’s my father’s birthday and we are taking him to dinner. My entire family and many friends enjoyed playing this year!
Thank you to Don, Marvin, all the Sponsors and everyone else who brought games, helped fix games, the Ohio Burn Unit and everyone else!

Every time I passed it someone was on it. It was my daughter's favorite.
Thanks for bringing it![quoted image][quoted image]
Agreed. My son and I stood there and played the entire game!
Many thanks to the people who stopped by my table at the Cleveland Pinball Show and many thanks to all of the people who made the show a big success! A lot of people worked very hard to share their beautiful games with everyone.
Also a very special thank you to Fred for bringing his Alien to my table for all to play. For those that may not know there were only 180 Aliens made so it is quite a treat to play such a cool game. Alien also won best modern game at the show!
Thanks again!
IMG_8920 (resized).JPGAnother great weekend! I had a lot of fun. Thanks to all who brought machines, all the vendors, and everyone who helped Don and company setup and tear down. Thanks to Bos98 for figuring out my cabinet speaker wire coming off was why my BOP's sound stopped working. Thanks to Lee's Parts for watching my games when I wasn't there. Thanks to my friend, Bill, for the nice surprise of a new printed back glass for my Getaway. Thanks to Fred for bringing Alien to the show and of course for hauling my machines in your trailer.
Looking forward to next year!
Oh sweet! Thank you!

What a great show! Big shout out to all the staff and tournament team! Everything went extremely smooth! Extra big thanks to those who brought machines, truly a great pinball selection but hands down my favorite game was the MCI Airball. That game was so much fun, I cant believe how great it ran.

Proud to own that specific Airball. Long time friend and business partner Joe DeSalvo left the machine to me upon his passing 3 years ago. He knew how much my family enjoyed playing that machine and made a point to tell his wife that the machine would go to me should he pass. Joe and his father had been in the vending business for over 70 years. After selling his route in 1989, Joe focused his efforts on servicing other people's coin operated machines for the next 27 years. Joe was thee go to guy in Northern Ohio for those 27 years for arcade, pinball, jukebox, bowler, and any other coin operated machine repairs. For those of you who knew Joe like I did, he didnt just fix machines to get them working. He fixed everyone else's hack jobs and went through the entire machine to insure everything would run smoothly for years to come. The flying turns pinball at the show every year, courtesy of Mark Jenkins, is a constant reminder of the quality of work Joe put into every machine. Joe and I sold the machine to Mark years ago and Mark let's me know all the time how nicely it still runs. Never forget these great people that made the hobby what it was in the 80's and where it is today.

I had a feeling that game had some history. Thank you for bringing it and sharing the story.
