Hi Pinsiders !
I'm dreaming to come back to US (when for the first time last year) during holidays , to discover new regions ,..yes, but with a pinball focus.

When is the next Pacific Pinball Exhibition ?
What are the major exhibitions ?

I visited PHOF - What are the other big pinball museums to see ?

Hey Lionel!

California Extreme 2011 takes place on July 9-10 this year. I would say its a better show, if your into solid-state machines. I think you get better bang for your buck than Pacific Pinball Expo, since they also have half the showfloor full of classic arcade games. Everything is on free play, except for some of the Stern's outside the showfloor.

Pacific Pinball Expo 2011 takes place September 23-25 this year. I would highly recommend it, if you are especially into EM's. They have a who's who of EM's. They are starting to listen to show-goers and put in more solid-state machines though. The number of solid-state machines increased substationally compared to 2009.

I will be attending both as usual. Probably run into Johnnyo again.

The other thing I can think of, is check out the Pacific Pinball Musuem if you show up any other time. Playland at the Beach is another great place to visit.

@lb45 - there are a few pinball museums. Pacific Pinball Museum has around 85 games. Playland not at the Beach has around 35, but Playland has a lot of cool games and vintage coin op.

I think Pacific Pinball Museum is a good destination - and if i can , I'll choose the dates for the Expo.

I was looking for the poster of the Museum

but without the frame , and cheaper... to minimize the cost due to taxes and shipping cost. Do you have an address ?

Thks Sealclubber : I'll visit now your links.

The Northwest Pinball and Gameroom Show in Seattle. June 3-5 this year.
Last year we got more than 300 pins and 100 classic videogames in there, we hope to break that record this year!
