Planning on bringing... Lemme see here...

Rob Zombie, Big Buck Hunter, Iron Man, Ghostbusters Premium, Metallica Pro, Bram Stoker's Dracula*, WWF Royal Rumble, Rollergames, Nine Ball, 3 Coins, WCS94, Speed Way (1948), Solar City, Alvin G Soccer Ball, STTNG*, Cybernaut, F-14.

The two * games will be starting out in Rob's room, they do WEEEEEEIRD things, so we'll see what happens. May add or subtract from this list a bit, not sure. Also, hopefully 25 arcade video games that will all be new to the show this year and will be making appearances every year from here on out.

Also, if you did not hear: WE CAN LOAD OUT FROM INSIDE THE HALL! This will allow minimally 6 times the space for load out that we've had, and probably more. I repeat: Load out should NOT be crazy, even if it is snowing!

Today has been a good day, I'm getting pretty psyched up for it all

No idea
No
Maybe
Yes (1 day at expo, 4+ at MGC)

I forgot to answer the other questions!

Not just going to attend.
Not looking to sell, but always eyeing deals even though I shouldn't be.
Don't think I can pull off Expo.

So far I’m going to bring
TNA #550
Scared Stiff
Gamatron
Addams Family
Tales from the crypt
Jurassic Park Pro
Star Wars Premium
Star ship troopers

No
Yes
No
I think I answered all the questions

Thinking of making a comeback to MGC after a 6 year hiatus. Just getting back into the hobby. Drove from MN to New Jersey to get our first game.

Of course one game is never enough and thought I stopping by might be a good way to shop for another.

Does anyone know of a "FOR SALE" specific thread being made for this November's show?

MGC!
Bringing (list subject to change based on whims):
Bally KISS with custom sound
Paragon
Demo Man
Big Indian
Spanish Eyes
Party Animal
Pinbot
Riverboat Gambler

Some will be for sale, others not.
Probably won’t buy because prices are crazy
Not sure I can swing expo, but an evening trip I might be able to pull off.

Getting fired up!
Jeff

All hail the MGC volunteer staff - whom without none of this would be possible.

So what are YOU bringing? Nothing this year due to logistic issues.
Just going to attend? Yes.
Looking to sell/buy? Possibly sell only - if pre-arranged.
Going to both EXPO & MGC? Hell yeah!

Two years is much too long, so absolutely going back at last this year.

So what are YOU bringing?
-- Undertale, and 3 other machines TBD, for our party of four
Just going to attend?
-- Definitely taking in all the sights and looking to have a good time, although I'll be with the homebrewers "vendor" group if that counts for anything.
Looking to sell/buy?
-- Won't be selling anything I own, but crewmates may be open to transactions. Not specifically planning to buy either, but if I see a good deal, I might.
Going to both EXPO & MGC?
-- Nope, funds are a little tighter this year so sticking with the closer event.

Is there a swap meet thread for this show yet? I know we've got a few things that might be of interest.

ColorDMD deal for anybody bringing games that wants to pick up a display:

Details from Randy:
“Offer is the same as previous years... $50 off for displays exhibited in a game at the show along with a small ColorDMD sign.

Interested parties should email us directly at [email protected] to order. We can accept orders up to to 10 days before the show (Oct 27) to give us time to ship to Eric.”

I’ll be at the show to distribute and can help install if needed.

Well then, if I can’t get Radical! Done before MGC maybe I’ll bring my Fishtales and get a color dmd for it.

goatdan How long will advance tickets be available for on the website before you must purchase at the day of the show?

Have a great time for me guys, I unfortunately can't make it this year. I'll catch you all next time around hopefully.

-Hans

Ouch, $50 for Saturday entry? I think it was $35 back in 2019. I'm sure there are losses to account for due to 2020 being cancelled but damn $50 is a tough one to swallow.

Inflation is alive and well for everything right now. $50 for 10 hours of entertainment seems reasonable to me.

Or you could always throw one of your game in the car and bring along to get in free

Bally Dogies
Gottlieb Fun Land
And if the weather stays dry…
Gottlieb Ice Revue

They will be for sale.

Just going to attend? - will be working and attending
Looking to sell/buy? - probably not
Going to both EXPO & MGC? - planning on 1 day expo / 4 day MGC

Going to both EXPO & MGC? - will be at expo streaming the tournament / 4 day MGC.

Say Hi if you see me at either show

Whoa, nice. Surprised what's left of the PAPA crew isn't doing it.

Ordered my color dmd today.Bringing my Fishtales.

I bet that looks slick in Color. I just installed a color in my Gilligan's and it's a striking difference.

Yeah, the color dmd looks very good in Fishtales. I’ve been wanting one for it for a while.

I didn't see a buy/sell thread for parts, so I'll post this here.

Pinball Basement will be in the main video gaming vending area. I'll be offering WPC89 MPU's for $140, 20% off website pricing. I will have 15 of these available.

If anyone wants anything else from the site, let me know and we can arrange something + a show discount.

Pinball Basement (1) (resized).png

Just placed a rush order with Marco.
I love melting a flipper coil six days before the show.

Really bummed I can't make it this year due to a scheduling conflict, but looking forward to bringing a game and seeing people again in 2022.

Marco has been awesome with shipping lately.

I can't make it this year, as my daughter is having knee surgery tomorrow so I'll be tending to her for a month at least.

Have fun, everyone!

We've got some boards and other things hanging around for sale. I'll snap some pics in the next day or two and post them here, assuming we don't get an official for-sale thread before show time.

Is it within the rules to just say "make an offer" (with full description of condition) or does that go against the no-auction guidelines of this site? If so I'll try and figure out what they might be worth.

Does anybody want to speculate what might be revealed by JJP or others at the show?Thinking of coming up that way my son has a place at Little Lake Germaine,Do they have seminars and how many pins in free play setup usually?Thanks

So what are YOU bringing? My Wife
Just going to attend? Yes
Looking to sell/buy? Yes, Hopefully some more original pinball drafting schematics
Going to both EXPO & MGC? Just MGC, couldn't spring for both.

Could bring a very clean example Big Guns if presold, parking lot deal.

I am going to bring my TNA as well.

Updated tentative bringlist:
1. Undertale
2. Swords of Fury (not the best one in the world but cmon guys LIONMAN)
3. Night Moves
4. Rollergames or Road Show (with RS being the nicer of the two)

Not selling anything at this time, but happy to share.

Arcade hall crew reunion!
Nothing to bring. Divorce is a bitch.
Going to attend and work.
Working on building my forever home so no new purchases at this time.
Can't wait to see all the people I haven't seen in forever!

My parts for sale. Make offers; I'll be pretty generous about it for reasons I will be up front about below:

1. Rottendog System 11 CPU board. In my experience in a Pinbot, it was working but NOT QUITE CORRECTLY. Took a long time before the game would kick out a ball, and the sound didn't seem too good. It may work better in another game or a DE title. Currently has ROMs installed; presence or absence of ROMs subject to negotiation.
IMG_20211102_073542097 (resized).jpg

2. Williams System 11 apron. See pic for style. Right tab is BROKEN OFF be aware of that.
IMG_20211101_210523387 (resized).jpg

3. Jack*Bot apron, can also be repainted/decaled for other mid-90s games I would assume. Small amounts of rust, otherwise seems complete.
IMG_20211101_210603994 (resized).jpg

4. Williams lockdown bars, 70s-80s era. Nicest ones will go first.
IMG_20211101_210506729 (resized).jpg

5. Gottlieb System 1 power supply board. Capable of booting a game, last I tried it, but could benefit from new caps.
IMG_20211101_210616324 (resized).jpg

6. 2 Williams DMD driver boards, can be sold individually or as a pair. NEITHER WORK AS FAR AS I KNOW. Probably the usual heat-related frying.
IMG_20211101_210702442 (resized).jpg

7. Box of bulbs and other stuff. Mildly dim warm-white Ablaze LEDs, (used) incandescents, some random hardware bits from something, and large alligator clip insulators. I do not value this box very high.
IMG_20211101_210641583 (resized).jpg

$10 for both

Which vendor(s) have a good selection of shooter rods? Looking to finally replace my stock WPC/Stern rods with a round ball style. Also will anybody be selling standard playfield glass at the show?

There aren't really many pinball parts available at MGC. The last few years I think it's only been Rob Anthony and one other guy in the main hall selling something pinball related. And I'm not sure how much even Rob is bringing this time. It's a show that has pinball for playing, but not so much pinball 'stuff' for buying in any kind of variety.

My Starship troopers I’m bringing will be for sale if anyone’s interested

I’m really hoping you bring Undertale! I’ve been following your dedicated thread for a while and started playing a new game of Undertale in anticipation of seeing it.

I’ve got a brand new Aerosmith lower cabinet for sale. I realize that I will not be getting to the project that I had planned this cabinet for. No side rails. Speaker, ball shooter, and generic wiring are in cabinet from when I got it. There are a couple screw ‘poke thru’ from inside screws. One is from tilt mech. Other is towards the back right. Can’t really see them but running fingers over cabinet you can feel them. I’ve got pics.
I’m in the southern burbs of Milwaukee or delivery to MGC is possible.
Asking $500.

Thanks, I'm glad you've been entertained!
The tentativity of the list is in games 2 through 4. Undertale is 100% coming to the show this year.

To revise the earlier list, looks like Matti will be swapping in Truck Stop for Night Moves. I just LED'd Rollergames, so kinda wanting to bring that one. Road Show is fully ready except for a broken pop bumper yoke/ring (fixing it today)... that puts them both ahead of SOF, which needs a remote battery holder project finished and is still all incandescent. It's up in the air but to me it's looking like Undertale/Road Show/Rollergames/Truck Stop will be our party.
