I’ve gotten a request, a friend would really like to play his childhood favorite, Funhouse and BK2K. If anyone has either of these games, please consider bringing it to the show!
PS: 4 more days!!

Any suggestions about parking? It looks like there are spaces on all sides. North side might be closest but also most filled with non-pinball vehicles.

Quoted from dmarston:Any suggestions about parking? It looks like there are spaces on all sides. North side might be closest but also most filled with non-pinball vehicles.
.................David Marston
JC Penny and the hospital lots are mostly empty year round. Up front they’ve got a few rows but any time of day there’s several hundred parking spots in that area alone.
The North side, in front of Home Goods and Planet Fitness is the most busy but again the mall has literally thousands of parking spots and at most maybe a little over a hundred are full
Quoted from gac:Is there a list of vendors (other than Cointaker) that will be at the show?
Cointaker is the only one so far, it’s a busy weekend for most.
If anyone is interested, I can bring up a project 1966 Gottlieb "Dancing Lady" for sale. PM for details.
I will be there Friday only, but if presold, I can deliver a Midway Little League pitch and bat or Williams Fun Fest to the show. $550 each, firm. Will consider a 2-for-1 trade for a good condition Ted Zale designed Bally EM. Also open to a 2-for-1 trade for a Bally/Williams/Stern SS project.
Game 1: Midway Little League pitch and bat
Except for the Magic Targets, the game works. Needs tuning, and I'm really not familiar with the Midway EMs. Playfield is in very good condition. The backglass is peeling in the blue areas, but otherwise looks good.
Game 2: Williams Fun Fest
Works and plays great. I've gone through this one completely. The playfield has wear and you might want to replace it... the good news is that I have a much nicer playfield replacement available for an additional cost. Backglass has been touched up. Cabinet needs touchup. A pretty easy cosmetic restoration project for someone with the right skill set.
PM me your email for photos of the Little League. If really serious, PM me for photos of the Fun Fest (have to pull that one from storage for photos).
Edit: Also have a number of 1930s and 40s games that I would part with. If you're interested in games of that era, take a look at the games in my profile and send me a PM to discuss any of them.
Edit 2: All of the early games work fine. Some may need minor adjustments as they are currently in storage. I'm sad to see any of them go to new homes, but I'm completely out of space.

Project with good potential.

That Sweetheart was produced with no Jewel Post?
Could you use a 1965 Bally Aces High?

PM sent.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:IT HAS BEGUN.
NO TURNING BACK NOW!
The 2nd Saturday of every August there's an annual event that's hosted at my place,
or I wouldn't be surprised if there'd be a 20' Big Ball Bowler sitting along that back wall..

Bring some of those games to the show, Tim.

Bring a game Friday, and pick it up Sunday/Monday!
Next year you better bring one of those! I plan on staying in the mall and getting an equal or bigger event space.
Let’s knock this outta the park!

Haha, I'd like to, but I started on getting things ready last week, and starting tomorrow, I'll be super busy
non-stop 100% till the festival begins at 1:00 Saturday, and actually beyond. It's an annual happening.
But I have to say, a ball bowling tournament is super fun!

Caveman is a great game. Doesn’t deserve the hate!
Having trouble leveling it though. I’ve got it jacked all the way up on the 3 inch legs and it still plays pretty slow. Is this some Gottlieb thing???
Good luck Isochronic_Frost !

This is one of the rare instances where the height of the front and back legs are different.

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking, wasn’t sure where to find that info, and the guy I bought it from is a big pin collector had it for over 10 years. I thought there’s no way he had the wrong legs and played it like this for a decade!
ya live and learn!

To be fair, Jeff never really had that game setup. I worked on it for him a bit, but it has been sitting at his ex-wife's place for years. He probably didn't realize that the legs were wrong.

It always kinda worked. I remember it had trouble coming out of video mode. I had it working for awhile, but he said it would come and go. Hope it holds up for you. I had fun playing it. I forgot he still had it to be honest.
Games I can bring to the show if anyone is interested-
1971 Gottlieb Home Run - repainted, plays great. A really nice example- 950
1986 Williams Grand Lizard #2- 2200 nice cabinet and backglass, good playfield that has been shopped and plays well.
1988 Williams Swords of Fury - restored playfield. Mostly new everything including clear ramps, LEDs, the works. NFS - unless the offer is good enough 
1964 Williams Trade Winds - new rubbers, plays great. Cabinet and BG have some wear. Make me an offer
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:Here is our most up-to-date games list
Any idea if any are for sale and for how much?
Quoted from AntennaMan:Any idea if any are for sale and for how much?
Some are for sale but you’ll have come to the show to see, I don’t know what the owners are asking.
I did list if they’re for sale on the website
Good Luck with the show!
Stay Safe!

Also missed Alien Star which is still here!
We’ve gotten a couple more added tonight after we closed!
Kate won the high-score tournament Howard put on to benefit Project Pinball! Kate has just gotten into pinball in the last couple months and joined me in putting this show on! She also put her initials on most the games here. 
She’s kicking ass!!
Cool lineup! Don't think I've ever played an On Beam before. Hope this went well for you guys and there's another show next year.
Would someone who is at the show get me the contact info/pricing/condition for the Deadpool? It's listed for sale on the website and I'm interested, but I'm a couple hundred miles away, so I don't want to blindly take a 400 mile drive only to come back empty.
Show looks awesome! Can you tell me if Cointaker brought mirror blades (for Stern DMD era and B/W) and game specific mods? Thanks

Come anyway for the fun!

He’s got mirror blades but I don’t think he has mods.

We will be doing next year!
