Official 2019 Texas Pinball Festival

Borygard Oh, nice. You changed your mind about TPF. Your show schedule thread shows differently. Will you have a booth set up for NVRAM installs and board repair?

No booth. Just there for the beer, bourbon, food, and friends.

When you see a guy walking in this shirt, ask for a marker and put your pinside name on it,...and say 'hi' of course.
Let's make a nice painting of this shirt.
[quoted image]

Hell yeah. You need to print your schematics and make them FS. I'd buy everything you've made. They're so helpful!!! Looking forward to finally meeting you.

Don't suppose anybody else is flying in to Love Field on Friday Morning and would want to split a ride to the hotel, eh?

Hey Eric
Walt and I will be on Southwest Flight 851 to Love arriving at 12:55p on Fri. If your flight is delayed and you want to Uber it to Embassy give a call. We'll probably make one short stop at the liquor store on the way over. Will pm you contact info.

Whelp, I finished building out stock for the show last night - here are the last 20 Pro Daughterboards ready for packaging. Next is figuring out how to get everything in the bags and keep them under weight maximums.

20 Pro Daughterboards

Safe travels to everyone traveling today. I'm flying Friday morning.

That's been the case in past years, I would assume it's the same. Order from the show, get free shipping.

Heading to the airport in a little bit for our 11th TPF in a row. It used to be a 4 hour drive and now it's a 4 hour flight.

Can't wait to see our old pinball friends and make some new ones!

Quoted from HemiOrange09:
It's been a long day and I just finished up with my Pinball Refinery Edition of the Munsters Pro with several upgrades, that I will be bring it along with a PR Iron Maiden and PR Deadpool for everyone to play it along with purchasing them at the show. Also, I will be also taking order for custom machines at the Cointaker booth....
I am looking forward to the show, but not so much the drive from Michigan ,

Man that was a long solo drive yesterday.... 16+ hours, stopped only for fuel and potty breaks about 1100 miles drive. Texas need to be closer to Michigan. I will have my 3 Refinery machines set up and for sale in the Cointaker area. I will have great show prices on them, so stop by, say "HI", check them out and play them. And if you're in the market for one, you can take it home with you.

I will also have other "Clearance items" on the table. New removed parts from Stern machines and surplus items.

All 3 stock Stern speakers $5.00 a set
Aprons (Metal and plastic) $10.00 to $40.00
Pinblade artwork variety of machines that I have a surplus of $40.00
Laser cut Star Trek hinges $TBD
And other items.....

I will have some powder coating sample, and a before and after Sparky to show what my painter can do for an example.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow

Just a polite reminder. If you got a lanyard from GEX, please wear it during the show to help ID fellow Pinsiders. Or in Zaza's case, wear a T-shirt that proudly displays your avatar ; ).

Anybody that does is a gem. It's so easy to just get wrapped up in actually being at the show and forget all about posting pictures or anything else, even if you intended to before getting there.

I normally do. We'll see - I've been a bit disappointed with the lack of pictures at other shows lately that I cannot attend.

Come to think of it, there were some really early flights that were cheaper, but the SW one was $310 all told, not bad.

I was wondering if any other Seattleites were attending. Will you have a name badge? I'm keeping my eye out for fellow pinsiders...
