Quoted from NicToria:Thinking of maybe attending..First timers... Can you give us a rough guess on the number of pins at your show... THX> Any amount will be great!!!. LOL NT...
Don’t think. Just go. Haha

Quoted from VDrums2112:That's 1 more than Jared! LOL... I'll be giving him crap all weekend!
Me too. Jared still got that ICB? Bring that again if so.
1 week later
Quoted from VDrums2112:The Triple Crown of Pinball - Race 2 is this Saturday February 10th at Zanzabar... Who's going?
Matt and Jeremy... Will Antz have games on free play for the tournament or is it coin drop?
-Steve
Usually games stay on coin drop.
I’m hoping to be there.
Quoted from snyper2099:Ok I will. But you will
Change your mind once you see it. Have you ever played an unrestored Funhouse with 100k plays on it?
Haha. It looks like it has 500k plays on it. And like it got dropped off a skyscraper. But it does play well.
Quoted from Gunnut40:I mentioned this in a family conversation...I got silence from my wife and my son wanted to go. I was thinking about just driving up Saturday for the day. They sell a day pass?
Yep. Lots of people just come for the day.
Quoted from Gunnut40:A day for sure then! Hopefully I can see you whodey and some other pinheads. I'm kinda nervous... I know almost nothing about pinball. Well I'll see y'all then.
Don’t need to know nothing about pinball. Just need to know that this show is a great time.
Quoted from MonsieurCS:are there cash prizes for the pinball tourneys or is it just like a trophy/credit to the fest type deal?
Cash prizes. No idea what the splits are though. Not sure those are ever posted.
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:is this show worth going too?
Absolutely. Ask yourself two questions:
Do you like to play Pinball?
Do you like to party?
If either of those is an answer of yes, go.
Quoted from bobukcat:There's a Hard Bodies on the list too, those two games should definitely be next to each other!!
Are they for sale? Would look great in my basement. Haha
Quoted from Jones44870:On there web site?
There will be vendors at the show selling games. I believe he is referring to Flip n Out. I would contract them. They have posted in this thread
Quoted from Gryszzz:Ok guys, lookin for some opinions here. I've never shopped out a machine. And I'm a huge procrastinator. Can a noob with minimal tools get I500 shopped out in a week? I do have the time and all the rubbers, leds, etc, just not sure if I have the skill set. Plus, I've already bought my tix. I guess I could sell them to someone. Or I could bring MET or ACDC. Or my personal favorite, just bring me lol. Anybody have an opinion? I'm all ears...
It will take 10-20 hours if you’re experienced. I would not rush it especially since it’s uour first time. In addition to wearing rubbers, just take your time and take a bazillion pictures as you take everything off to clean. Just take everything off the top of the playfield, clean, replace rubbers and bulbs and put everything back on.
Key is tons of pictures and putting all the parts into baggies and label them. Only put small sections of the playfield into bags and that way you know that those parts go to that area of the playfield. And when you think you’ve taken enough pictures, take more.
Bring AC/DC to the show. Haha
Quoted from Gryszzz:That was a (bad) joke, but it's the operator that's not working lol. I have the Pascal board and a Kruzman pf to put in it. Next year I'll be bringing that gem. But thank you brother, I appreciate that. Prob gonna bring MET if I can get all my Christopher Cross and Air Supply loaded into it.
But you promised me Hall and Oates?
Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:Dude, next weekend try to find me. I’ll probaly be wearing a Maiden or Gottlieb shirt hahah
Gryzz will be the guy asleep at 9 pm Saturday.
Quoted from PinballTilt:I got the green light to attend! Looking forward to it. Should be there Friday and Saturday. Do people generally bring games to sell to this show?
There’s usually a fair amount of games for sale. My LW3 will probably be for sale.
Quoted from bbhenry2000:What are you looking to get out of it?
Not sure yet. I’ve had it for a while so not sure on the market. Have to research a bit.
Quoted from WeirPinball:Not really a good show to sell at - I had one good year the 2nd year where I sold 3, but haven't sold anything since.
Not too worried about it. I don’t sell anything too often. Haha
Quoted from Mikala:Can someone tell me if parking is free at LAX? If not, parking cost?
We have a situation where we all can not get there at the same time Saturday and may end up in four cars. So we were wondering about parking. Thanks.
It’s free. Just get there as early as possible and never move your car. You’ll lose your spot instantly.
Quoted from bobukcat:Might really be crazy this year with all the rain they've had!
I’m bringing a canoe
Quoted from ViolinSteve:Is that an EM or a Solid State? Home Use Only? See ya in two days, buddy!
Prototype. Got it from the original designer. Great guy. Fashioned it out of one piece of wood.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Whatever. Bet it doesn't even say "Supreme" on it.
Wait till you see my LW3. You’ll be able to see it from your hotel room.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Pinstadium?
Yes sir. Might help you put up another score on one of my games. PAPA CHAMP still lives on GOT. Gotta return the favor on your game.
Quoted from Crile1:No tna...yet
Damage in shipping. Owner couldn’t bring it. Bummer.
Quoted from PinballTilt:Couldn't hear the awesome music on it even if it were here. I'm not digging the band. Here's a picture, try to beat it
I’ll give it a shot tomorrow.
Dude TNA would be the loudest game in there.
Quoted from Crile1:I hope they turn the volumes up on the games today. I'll be back tonight.
LW3 is loud!!!
Quoted from Mikala:The Evel Knievel was scoring an additional 1300 points every time you hit the left flipper. How in the heck does that happen and how do you fix that?
Most likely a switch that has contacts that are too close and vibration causes the contacts to touch. Put game in switch test and it will tell you which switch needs adjusted.
Those Ataris looked so cool sitting over there. Thanks for bringing them. Had never played time 2000 before. Pretty cool.
