Cincinnati, OH
Stopped on our way in (about a half hour away from the show) and demo'd one of these multi-cades...
We like it to compliment our pins in our game room. Great sound system in it with a built in sub. We'll pick one up on our way home! Now ... onward to pinball! One hour count down.
last call can bring
IGT red white blue vegas nickel slot
IGT haywire vegas quarter slot
IGT hot peppers vegas nickel slot
the slots payout in coins and accept coins
also have a nice megatouch XL 5000 works great
only will bring if deal arranged before show
I have two World Cup soccer alternate translights for sale or trade that I can bring to the show on Saturday. The one with the girl on it (that my wife doesn't like for some reason) is a little smaller than the other. Both fit, but it took me longer to get that one to the point where it just covered the space, which was pretty frustrating. Don't have a particular price or trade in mind, but please pm me if interested.

Your wife must not appreciate her skills as a soccer goalie.

I appreciate her skills 
Quoted from Push600:Pm sent on Galaga
Pm sent yesterday on Galaga. No response.
A few more pics ... hopefully a bunch of pins come in tomorrow. Not too many people there today which was good for us as we got some good plays in on AS, DI, RZ, and a few others that we really wanted to check out and why we made the trip.
Quoted from sleethering:What's the plan for games in the tournament that sell? Do they have to stay until the end?
I hadn't considered this before and I'm glad you brought it up. I'm sure everyone who's supplying games for the tournament wouldn't have allowed them to be pulled out early, but that's a very useful rule to have, so I'll write it in.
Any game that's in the tournament lineup can not be removed at any point during the qualifying period unless it's due to a game malfunction which can not be repaired within the constraints of the tournament. If a game must be removed on the finals day, the time it will be removed at must be communicated to the tournament directors before the tournament begins, so it can be factored in to the game's selection for tournament use.
As someone considering this show next year, what is the machine to line ratio? Just got back from TPF and while the machines were nice, there always seemed to be someone on 90% of them. Is this show similar to the Cleveland show? Would love to see a video if someone has the time.

The OHIO show is not bad for lines since the volunteers bring lots of machines, they are spread out and hours are long allowing the attendees not to all be in the hall at once. Although, there will usually be lines on certain, popular and new release machines. TPF and eXPo are jammed with people trying to play due to unlimited ticket sales.
Basically, most shows work this way with the exception of one, the Ann Arbor pinball show in Michigan. 350 machines (no duplicates of the 350 on-site machines) in great condition, technical staff and a complete parts & service department on-site. This show limits ticket sales to eliminate players three deep or more on almost all machines. Hopefully you can make it to one as well as the OHIO show in aKRON.
Can bring an unfaded judge dredd with topper and perfect playfield with dead world but not installed yet. Cab is nicest I've ever seen. Need to make room. Call me if interested.

I have perhaps the nicest Theatre of Magic you could want. Game was HUO (undocumented, but condition is what matters) - condition is amazing. I am 10-15 minutes from the Ohio Show. One minor nick on the right side of the cab where the previous owner bumped it - other than that, the cab is awesome. Brassed out (except coin door).

Sounds great, when is that show? Also happy to see that Spirit again. Hope to see it at the ClePin show this year.

Quoted from grantopia:Won't be able to make it until Saturday afternoon. Is it safe to assume all the good deals and projects are long gone?
Yes safe to assume. Because there weren't any in the first place.
Quoted from Push600:Yes safe to assume. Because there weren't any in the first place.
LMAO!
The show is off to a great start this year. Games are cleaner and better shape than last year and the tournament is more organized. The early birds yesterday really brought some nice stuff. Props to waddle for the tourney organization.

Wish the 6th wasn't sold out or we would probably be there. Maybe next year.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:Who brought the Batman 66? Is it for sale?
I thought it said tilt amusement.
Enjoyed the show today; plenty of machines to play and never much of a wait except for two or three of the more popular ones (during the early afternoon at least). Attaching several pictures of the floor and the Stern Indy machine I enjoyed the most -- I was able to take a peek of the insides when the owners were there and apparently it runs off a computer/completely different system than stock (notice the "Williams?")
Did not find any to bring home/that I could not live without. . . but maybe a couple for the "someday" list.
Quoted from KingBW:Ha ... you didn't catch this one?
How much? Lol
Quoted from KingBW:Ha ... you didn't catch this one?
Oh, That was me. . .
Just kidding. Must have been before or after I was there. . . or a different part of the parking lot! Cannot believe I would have missed that!
