I'm also looking for new playfield glass.

Anyone bringing any arcade cabinets? I feel like I'm coming down with JAMMA fever....

Probably going to be able to show up for a day if all goes well. Id like to bring a game but ill only be there for a day. Hopefully i can figure something out, always a great show.

Last year someone was there with $20/sheet glass with preorder, good deal, don't remember who though.

I would buy some at that.price

Here is a list of games the PCPL (Prison City Pinball League) will be being.

Star Wars DE
Dirty Harry
Raven
Diamond Lady (Maybe for sale)
Gorgar (For sale)
Dr Dude (For sale)

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I've only had request for two specific backglasses so far. Anyone else off the list that Marcus did?

2 WEEK TILL PATZ..........BUMP!!!!!!!

What is the difference between the two shuffleboard waxes I need to buy some and was online looking at different types with different numbers is it speed or size of the wax
Would you consider shipping a couple cans to Massachusetts not sure which type I would want or need maybe someone can help me out
thanks Mike

Holy crap Superman, it looks like you need a booth at the Zoo show....LOL.

John

can't compete with you John

M. Zerba

LOL.....I'm selling out as much as I can this year....., it should be interesting.

John

I will be there all day Saturday.........catch up with you then

Putting together random box lots of stuff as we speak. Coils, drop targets, gates, linkages, kick out assemblies, buttons, round targets, coin indicators, coin mechs.......... I'm thinking $10 per box ?? Your buying everything in that box for one money. Its a mish mash of just random parts.

John

I don't think those setting up booths at the shows want to ship stuff, but I could be wrong.

Buy the shuffleboard wax from Suzo-Happ. They love to ship parts & supplies.

Just filled up 25 boxes, heavy duty plugs, misc. assemblies, line cords, cigarette holders, tilt parts, wire holders, springs, shooter rods and gauges, and anything else I can dig up. $10 per box but no remixing of boxes, you get what you get and buy as many boxes as you want.
Tomorrow I'll get more boxes as I ran out today.

John

i will ship things from my list .........shipping would be added...........i do not have a table at PATZ but will bring the items saturday 22nd if sold

Mike,
If you want bring the stuff to my booth and we'll figure out a spot to put it.

John

thanks John......might have to take you up on that......You, Kevin and PATZ are the best.....wouldn't miss it

I am confirming that my restored Flash Gordon will be at the show. I've worked the bugs out and it's ready for some playtime. Here's the restoration thread:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/from-trash-gordon-to-flash-gordon-my-restoration

I could also bring an EM Wms Big Deal on Saturday if anyone is interested in purchasing. It's a mostly working project that I just don't have time to complete right now.

Holy crap- I had no idea you were doing this. It looks awesome, can't wait to play it.

I'm bringing my WWFRR for all 3 days.

I'm shopping it out right now- all new rubbers and such. I'm going to have to rebuild the pops at another time because I'm worried I wouldn't have time to finish it before PATZ. They work fine, fine as in they are still DE pops.

It's my first shop job on my first machine so I'm taking my time and taking pictures constantly. I'll hopefully be finished by the weekend.

Sweet. Can't wait to play some RR.

I still remember my first shop job. Careful--fixing can be more fun than playing!

"I could also bring an EM Wms Big Deal on Saturday if anyone is interested in purchasing. It's a mostly working project that I just don't have time to complete right now."

Bring the Big deal and if no one buys it outright at the show just throw it in the Auction. Someone will want to take it home I am sure.

Sir Brian of Ortonville

Yep, I thought of that. I'd rather have some pre-interest before bringing it down, because I wouldn't bring it back.

**** JJP Invisiglass Sale at the VFW and PATZ Show ****

I received the prices that Gary from Abel worked out with JJP for a Invisiglass sale at the shows. He is going to include the PATZ show if we can quickly get a count in time for that. It all depends on how many will actually firmly commit. The more sheets that are purchased by this group buy, the cheaper it will be. Gary's cash payment prices are as follows:

10 total group sheets or more = $255 each
8 total group sheets or more = $265 each
6 total group sheets or more = $275 each

Gary said that the price includes tax and his delivery to the shows for your pickup. He needs at least a weeks notice, so for the group discount to be in time for the PATZ event, we need a definite committed count by Friday. Gary will disclose how he will accept the group cash payment (the logistics of how we can get this done) once we get the count.

PM me with your committed count of sheets and what size - Standard or Wide Body, and which show you would pick the glass up at (VFW or PATZ). Give me your "real" name and phone number too to pass along to Gary. We will likely use your phone number as your password to acquire your sheets at the show (or something similar). More updates will follow as Gary feeds me the info/directions. Let's at least get 10 sheets as a group for the best discount.

So I'll be bringing Genie, Iron Man and Judge Dredd for the Tournament. I can fit another 3 for the free play area so I was thinking Batman Dark Knight for sure but not so sure on the other 2. I've got TWD Pro, Fish Tales, Demo Man, GB Pro, STTNG, WCS94, Johnny Mnemonic, Party Zone, EBD, Incredible Hulk. Nothing will be for sale just for play. Let me know if anyone wants to play these and I'll bring a couple.

Great options. I'd say GB Pro, TWD, and Incredible Hulk get my vote. I'm bringing 6 non-pinheads from Chicago but we're only going to be there during the afternoon-early evening on Friday. I think this is our 5th year going to PatZ.

I want to give this thread a bump. I saw Kruzman giving props to the show and I'd like to echo that sentiment. I first met Kevin at Pinball Expo back in 2000 or 2001 when he had a booth selling parts. At that time we had a chance to speak as I was at my friend's booth next to him. It didn't take me long to realize that not only does Kevin wear his heart on his sleeve, but he is as good and honest as it gets. Over the years he has helped me when he can and I've looked to do the same. Since I started going to PATZ, I've done my best to get out there each and every year. It is one of my favorite shows due to Kevin, the venue, and people who come to the show. I've always enjoyed socializing and do plenty of that there. If you are the fence about going to the show, do yourself a favor and go. There are some good places to eat in the area as well, how could it get better?

Brad

Nothing but nice people at PATZ for sure.

Don't forget to pick up your Sweetwaters doughnuts on the way in, or out of town. I always get 2 dozen heading out

No doubt about Sweetwater's, I have a coffee mug to remind me. And for those that don't want to make decisions on the spot, check this out!

http://sweetwatersdonuts.com/donuts/

Thanks for the reminder. And for those that don't like to click links, you will see just a few of what they have available below.

Hard to get the perfect dozen... It really is. I'm heavy on the cake donuts but you need a good mix.

I agree about the perfect dozen. I always grab some to bring home in case anyone from our household didn't join us at the show and to enjoy later. I love maple donuts... mmmmm...

Brad

I always pick up some Hinkley's Donuts to take to the show, not near the show but a good treat to have none the less and it is in my home town. Also rated number 1 just ahead of Sweetwater's. Maybe this year I will have to stop in and try some of those to compare!

.

Let me know if you plan on taking TWD Pro to the show. If so I will leave mine here and take something else along.

Was considering selling TWD but the market seems flooded with those raising money for AFMr. Might hold off for a while

Haven't had much of a chance to try GB, so that would be great. Hard to go wrong with any of the others. Don't think I've seen a JM at the Zoo, at least recently..........

Added over 7 years ago: Edit: And thanks for bringing games!

I'd vote for Johnny Mnemonic

so far the plan will be TWD and GB as that's what everyone seems to like. My only concern with JM is how well the hand will hold up over that many plays in a weekend. I don't have any issues now but that seems likely to change after what I am assuming will be over 1500 plays that weekend.

I will likely be bringing a Vulcan. And it will likely be for sale.

I don't think your game will see 1500 plays. Probably something under 500 (so maybe 1500 balls then?) I've been bringing 6 - 9 games and the counts are usually under 400 for Friday + Sat. Mine are titles like Meteor, Flash Gordon and Firepower but they do stay busy. It's a great show.

I'm really looking forward to it! The whole family is coming to Kalamazoo for a soccer tournament next weekend and I'll only have a short bit of time between soccer games to admire and play a few games but it'll be worth it. The show last year was the first for me and it was wonderful! I actually wasn't aware of the show then (wasn't on pinside either yet) but had just stumbled across a flyer for it at the pinball hall of fame in vegas a few weeks before.

Thanks for the info on donuts! Last year we got very nice tacos from I believe a place off Portage (could have been Gallo Blanco--or at least what I see on google maps suggests this was the place). And then One Well was good for beers. Willing to listen to advice from locals though for grub and gulps!

Yeah he's a goof. Always eating my doughnuts and drinking my Mtn. Dew at the show......, plus he hogs up all the space in that corner booth with that "free" stuff. I'm sure were all paying for it SOMEHOW. You've been warned !!

I'll be bringing a restored Viking for the tournament area and perhaps something special for the free play area....

Looking forward to seeing and playing 300!
