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.

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

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.

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.

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.

2. Williams System 11 apron. See pic for style. Right tab is BROKEN OFF be aware of that.

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

4. Williams lockdown bars, 70s-80s era. Nicest ones will go first.

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

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.

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.

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.

I just spent the last week preparing games. Granted, I probably should have spent more time packing actual clothes and supplies, but... hope you all enjoy!

Jesse's not going due to personal stuff, but we're still bringing those four games to share.

So um... U-Haul was out of good trailers. I apologize to anyone hoping to play my Rollergames, as we could only fit three games with us.

I'm not sure who owns the Rollergames that is in the lineup, but if it's someone on here... Dude you have no plunger tip.

Apparently someone came to the show specifically to play Undertale, which made me feel nice. Both because of them liking my game, and because its presence directly supported our show, apparently. I took a photo with us with permission, but probably won't post it here for privacy reasons.

Had a short but nice chat with Ed about our homebrews. Turns out I wasn't the only one who burned up a flipper coil!

If you're dealing with a lot of broken tips, something I've tried in the past is to grind the sharp-ish bevel edges of the plunger to be more rounded. Might help keep it from shearing through rubber.

Thanks for the show, Dan, even if there are occasional setbacks it's always an awesome experience!
