    Those dates are rough. As I told you in our conversation, I'll be around either way, but doing this during the Saratoga track season makes hotel rooms very difficult and expensive for the out-of-towners. I know of several who stayed all the way down by me because they couldn't find hotel rooms nearer to Saratoga or the jacked up season prices were prohibitive.

    It’s Saratoga during track season. Everything is 3x the price it should be. If you don’t mind making the ride up from Albany, you should be able to find normal prices. There’s a Hampton Inn that’s quite nice just a couple of minutes from the bottom of 87.

    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.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    none of which were pinball people...(except for Herb)

    Damn... That stings
