    Just started reading the trip from the beginning. I was surprised to see people I've met. David Yopp and Richard, stops two and three I met at Grand Ole Gameroom Expo.

    Very fun thread. When will you be in northern OH or IN? I might try to visit with you if possible.

    That guy using his cell phone light should invest in a headlight. Energizer makes a cheap, sturdy one for ten dollars at Wally World. I've tried more expensive ones but they just end up breaking or getting lost.

    Quoted from dasvis:

    This is the bad boy I have been using for the last 10 years. Spendy, but lasts forever, super bright, & well built.
    I use mine every day - good lighting is essential.

    I totally agree on the Dremel with wire brush for cleaning contacts. I picked up on it a couple of years ago from the Bingo pin guys. Hands down the only way to go.

    I hate the ones with the overhead strap. We have a lot of LED Lenser dealers around. That's a similar headlight but without the overhead strap. But I sometimes misplace mine so it's better to lose a ten dollar one than a hundred dollar one.

    Don't worry about your looks. Wear it with a Indiana Jones hat like I do and you'll look super cool.

    Quoted from Axl:

    I am really looking forward to the Nic's European Pinball Tour!

    I like your thinking.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    Alas, it is unlikely I will return tomorrow, as I really need the time to write, finish correspondence, and hopefully relax.
    Seems like I missed not only Beez but Todd Tuckey and a few others as well today. :/
    I was only there for about five hours in total... but did manage to meet djreddog and get his tourney machine issue identified (Conquest 200).
    Overall, the state of the EM's needed improvement. While there were a handful of good playing machines, far too many were in need of easy fixes such as rebuilding pops, flippers, and proper leveling. Nevertheless it was a good time & who knows... if I end up moving here I might bring my own personal fleet for a visit one day.

    You mean I drove all the way from Indiana to give you a headlamp and you've changed your mind on coming Saturday? Oh well...

    Is Zaccaria's combat fun to play? I've always loved the theme and art.
