    Quoted from trilogybeer:

    Check out the first picture I posted to this thread .It is more than just a pinball.

    That's why I said "that" .. wasn't sure why it was on it's back. It had a rough time apparently at TPF (or it's brother did) so wondering if it was out of commission still.

    It was down for a good last of Sunday morning but they got it going...

    Yea, what will the organizers do next year to prevent road side car fires? Dan and Gary really should have thought about that. I brought my kids and I don't think they should be seeing cars on fire.

    #55 8 years ago

    The sticky upper flipper on TBL was my fault as I replaced it with one that did not fit quite right.

    People kept turning it off because it looked like a locked on coil, but it was not. I appreciate the responsiveness of our fellow pinheads!

    Thanks again guys for a great weekend!

    Least it wasn't a picture of that car with a gold wings on top of it. MGC was a great time.

    It was the car behind the Gold Wings car.

    We ended up buying a Pinjizzle 5000 late Friday afternoon and took it up to our room. I'll just say, many a dollar changed hands playing the rest of the show. I didn't check the audits, but I'd bet it saw a good 200 plays.

    I'm not sure how Spooky Pinball got involved, but it was bound to happen sooner or later.

    Ah! Sorry , yeah I took that pic when scott was setting up .This was prototype #1 at mgc .

    #63 8 years ago

    You can say what you want about tech support from other manufacturers, but none of them hold a candle to Day One Pinball. After about 50 plays, we were having a minor issue with the ball gate at the top of the shooter lane. One phone call to Terry and five minutes later we had the lovely and talented Andrew Barney in our room taking care of things. The tech master himself had things fixed in no time.

    Scott if you are going to Allentown, why not bring TBL ? That would be fun!!!

    #71 8 years ago

    by dollar games you mean those theoretical games that we had where nobody won anything besides bragging rights?

    I'm pretty sure it was your wife who pinched my ass late Saturday night.

    Might have just been the toilet seat too.

    Added to the list of reasonable things to fix for 2016. Also noted was that I need to finish all of the construction on the 894 / 94 interchange, but I think I'm passing that one off to Gary.

    Here is one of Mike (DK Pinball) and I wrestling.

    If you're taking unreasonable personal requests, I'd love the next show to be 51 or 53 weeks from now, so it's on my weekend off.

    Seriously though, thank you and your team for all of your blood, sweat, and tears. It's spectacular to see the whole thing come together every year.

    No, I'm looking for *reasonable* requests. Like the time I had someone ask that we put each pinball into it's own room so you could better hear the sounds of the individual machines. (Yes, that was a real request.)

    Heh, I have to check the contract at some point, we're theoretically booked until 2018 right now, unless we decide to move locations, so your wish may be my command, and if not, it was decided in like 2012 so sorry We are exploring some weird options for moving, although we'll see if anything pans out.

    #88 8 years ago

    I can't find the picture I'm looking for - my son like I had mentioned in another thread insisted that he bring his TMNT pinball and set it up in the arcade hall Friday. I ended up moving it to my room on Saturday and he was disappointed that it wasn't out. Told him I'd take it to the after party that was past his bedtime. I apologize that I forgot to, here's what you missed:

    http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Tabletop/dp/B00DUOEC52/ref=sr_1_1

    and if you see him, don't tell him.

    Some other pics I like... (quotes below associated to above pic)

    Asked him if I should get one. Answer after a game, "Yeah, it's awesome!" Whew. Already decided to get it.

    Already getting requests to get one of these. I need a house that has a basement the size of a football field...

    #89 8 years ago

    When I walked into the vendor hall I could hear the sound of the puck bouncing off the rails of the air hockey tables. It got louder as we walked the way.....like it was calling to me.

    It was a treat to watch people play it. Makes me miss mine for a minute and then I remember there are 3 pins where it used to sit.

    Just got into my hotel room. Left Milwaukee yesterday afternoon and just arrived in Panama City beach Florida. I'm just going to say thanks mgc crew since I don't want to forget any names.

    Man. That's a run. You drive that?

    I used to do 2 x 15+ Hour days to get to Reno and then turn around and come back. Your a trooper. Glad you arrived safely.

    Jeez I need to go to bed because when I read this, I instantly thought that I could walk to Reno's house from mine in less than 15 hours.

    Then realized it wasn't the pinball vendor you were talking about.

    Goodnight everybody!

    #93 8 years ago

    I had to drive here to pick up a load of video games. I have a semi arriving at 10am. Will fill it and my 20 foot trailer.

    This doesn't even cover the seminars, a lot of the basement that was off/closed when I swung through, or most of the video museum since I shot those last year and they tend not to change much at all.

    Awesome pics Vince! Love how you caught MikeS hard at work setting up his JM!
