Sorry I am a little late to the party, but I am pumped for the show. I have been a long time attendee, and eventually broke the ice with a machine purchase. It's been an obsession ever since, but I never seem to have enough time to spend on pinball (and on Pinside).

My games are all pretty rough, but I'd like to contribute to an outstanding show. I do have a Bally Playboy for the classic row, so I'll get it cleaned up as best I can.

I'm really looking forward to checking out these awesome games, visiting all of the vendors, the auction on Saturday, and of course those cookies!

I'll be looking for a bunch of random stuff for a game room that I'm sure John will have, and I'll be looking to pick up a machine or two along with a multicade.

Alex, please let me know where you might need some help as I have volunteered in the past too. I'll be there all three days and would be happy to lend a hand.

Can't wait! ~ Matt

Games I’ll bring to PATZ if sold before hand, not in rush to sell anything so priced high but if it’s something you want I have a few rare ones in here.

Stern Nine Ball $2500 boots and plays but need shopped. Missing a display. Display for player 2-3 are funky. New sling plastics. Typical playfield wear.

Stern Stingray $1000 new MPU, typical kick out wear by saucers. Plays well.

Stern Split Second $2000 plays well. Just shopped out. Has a new backglass getting delivered to the show from BGresto. One broken plastic on upper playfield.

Stern Stars total project game. All there though, $600.

Sega Goldeneye $3000. Recently shopped and LED. Plays great. Both magnets work great. Reimport with a coin controls coin unit. Don’t recommend it for location but great for home collection.

Dragonfist...category of not for sale but everything has a price, probably not but hey ya never know. Pros clearcoated playfield cons clearcoat not perfect, they didn’t touch up first but I’m pretty good shape. Cabinet just okay. Backglass just okay but picking up new one at the show. New MPU and rectifier board, brand new flipper mechs, new drops included, new pop caps. Plays very well!

NOS Viking Playfield I’m okay but not great condition $500.

The piece de la resistance...build your own....

LADY DEATH!!!!!

150 made, 2 know to exist in the US. I have the playfield, backglass, and plastics all brand new!!! No sling plastics but I have the art files. Oh it also includes a Mata Hari project game to do the conversion! Make me an offer because I have no idea what it’s worth.

does anyone have funhouse rudy parts they would like to bring me at the show......rudy needs eyeballs and the main linkage for right, left movement........I also have a whirlwind playfield for a wall hanger or possible restore $50

whirlwind playfield already sold............

Anyone bringing a NBAFB or Rollergames for sale? Only looking for games with excellent cosmetics. Thanks.

Any chance anyone is coming from Chicagoland Area to PATZ? Have a game in St. Charles (8 Ball) that I'd like to grab but a little short on time to make the trip to Chicago. Would gladly cover your time and efforts.

Many thanks!

- Matt

I believe Pinwow

I believe Pinwow will have a Rollergames for sale.

I believe too.

Matt,
Anything in particular your looking for? One thing that I have and I can't bring to the show is a rather large old school neon that says Open and then the word Donuts underneath that I was thinking about letting go. It's about 5 feet long and probably two feet tall and has that nice soft old school neon glow. I'm not to keen on moving it as I'm afraid it could get busted and if that happens well, "no donuts for you!". Not sure what I'd want for it but I was sorta thinking about it for the space I could use......, I'm not hard up to sell it though so it wont be really cheap or anything.

John

Jungle Lord is underrated and has a deeper rule set then most expect. Former owner of one here...it's a great pin! GLWS!

Looking forward to all of the games and deals at PATZ next week! HOLY SMOKES! It's almost the 1 week countdown!

What time can we show up with games on Thursday?

Tell me about it. Dan and I are in a mad dash trying to get games ready. We should have four possibly five...or as few as one or two lol

yay!!

Picking up the trailer this Saturday. Games are ready. Just doing some last minute cleaning and adjustments.
John, I'll have the sound system with me.
Unfortunately, I have to work Thursday so see everybody Friday. Assuming that 8:30am time works on Friday also?
Gotta stop for donuts, tho'.........

SOLD:
Lady Death, Nine Ball, Stingray, Stars, Viking playfield.

Available: Goldeney, Split Second

Couple of pictures of the Donuts sign for those that asked.

John, that sounds like a cool sign and a great complementary piece for someone with a Simpsons machine. Thanks for the offer, but it's probably too big for the space I have to work with. I'll give it a bump as I'm sure there will be a lot of PATZ traffic going through your neck of the woods and someone will be interested.

I'm definitely interested in playfields that can be used as wall or ceiling hangers. I'm also looking to put together a "history of pinball" wall to show how the machines have evolved. I envision displays showing flippers, bumpers, targets, etc. through the years. I know you have a lot of that stuff in your regular stash of parts so I'll be there to pick early on Thursday.

Feel free to PM me if you have other thoughts and want to spare our fellow Pinsiders my short stories...

As of now I've got a van load full of parts and goodies coming on Thursday but wont be until around 5pm. I'll have some other stuff in the booth early but the bulk of it wont be until later on. I'll also be bringing 4-5 games that are all for sale too. Of course don't forget to check out the "FREE" table again this year. Keep checking back in the booth for more stuff coming in.

John

Bringing my minty fresh, restored F-14 Tomcat for all three days.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-reanimation-of-gen-yagov-an-f-14-tomcat-restoration/page/4#post-4878370

So many great pins I can't wait to get some time on. PATZ is always a fun, relaxed, good hang-out show, but it can be hit or miss with regard to games to play. Sounds like this year is gonna be a hit.

Looking like Flash Gordon is going to be done just in time thanks in huge part to @mjalexan who did the boards and playfield work while I did the cabinet work. We hope to finish it tomorrow and test play it all week before the show! Flash Gordon new hardtop from @outsidedge Reese Rails from @taylorva and a new fully mirrored backglass from @kevincpr as well as plastics, cabinet repainted with Pinball Pimp stencils.

Also bringing the Harlem that I repainted last summer, already had a NOS playfield so I installed a playfield protector on it.
pasted_image (resized).pngpasted_image (resized).png
As well as my Viking that has a NOS clearcoated playfield installed. Possibly a few other surprises as well. Check them out in the Bally Row!
pasted_image (resized).pngpasted_image (resized).png

Metallica, Deadpool, High Speed, F14 TomCat and America's Most Haunted are all set for the show.

Rob Zombie is coming along.

And The NIB Black Knight Sword of Rage Pro should be delivered here on Monday

It's shaping up nicely and all machines are for sale

EDIT...High Speed is sale pending, so it will not be attending the show. If it changes and becomes available, I will bring it.

I know it may be a long shot, but could Willy Wonka make a presence?

Any chance of seeing a bk premium there? Im in the market but want to play both before deciding. I know its doubtful though!

Premiums won't even be made for months if status quo

I know, but i believe they were at mgc. Possibly brought by stern?

Space cowboys and horses from the future will be there to play Friday and Saturday.

There were multiple prototype premiums at MGC.
It’s just my opinion, but the premium play is more fun and the pro felt empty by comparison.

Hell yes! That’s awesome!

Those are some awesome looking Bally classics @Tsskinne! Please save room in the corner for my Playboy as she will pale by comparison. Hopefully everyone will just get caught up in the artwork on it.

I do want to get some input on the hard tops vs. overlays, cabinet painting, etc. as mine really needs some help.

Ironically, I picked up a Chubbie last week and think it would be appropriate in the row behind Playboy.

Seriously though, it is pretty cool and seems to be fully functional. Definitely a treat for those into the flipperless games. I'll see about some other games too depending what size trailer I can get.

20190418_174542 (resized).jpg

Totally agree. We stopped playing the pros and just played the premiums. Either way, we hit more posts than anything else on that one. The multiballs were interesting. Hope a premium makes an appearance … along with a WONKA

Dan and I just finished this odd ball title. It's actually pretty fun.
20190418_223608 (resized).jpg

Would be better if it was the old Top Gun movie parody "Hot Shots".

Hot Shots is beyond kind of fun!!!! It's my favorite game in my collection.

I spent a lot of time beefing up ramps with protectors of all sorts. That ball accelerator up top is a ramp destroyer. Come see it at PATZ you'll laugh at the solutions I came up with.

ATTENTION!: We will be ending the pre-sale on this year's PATZ ceramic mugs, this Monday April 22, 2019 at midnight.
You can pre-order your mug by sending $12.00 each via PayPal to [email protected] and then simply pick up your order up from our booth anytime during the show. However, we plan on making a few extra mugs to bring to the show... but at the show they'll be $15.00.

This year's design features the 20th Anniversary artwork/logo on the front and various vendors that are attending the show on the back of the mugs!

Also, if there are any items that you'd like to purchase from our website at www.ulekstore.com , please email us at [email protected] and we'll send you an invoice for the item(s) ~ with FREE pickup at the show. This is a great change to get some last needed items with no additional shipping charges!

Thanks,
David and Leeann

Great job with them... PayPal payment sent. My wife is the coffee drinker...

Thanks for doing them,

Got it, thanks Steve. We'll have it ready for pick up at the show.

Anyone bringing any EM's to sell at PATZ? Ideally looking something from the 70's!

Leeann and I are currently bringing a couple of games for the Bally row and I was thinking about bringing an AC/DC Pro VE and a Big Buck Hunter (both of which are for sale). If any interest, please let me know or send me a PM and we can work out the details. I'm asking $4,400 for each machine. If someone wanted both of them... I'd be more than willing to let them go (as a set) for $8,000.

Thanks,
David

I’ll bring my Rollergames if it is presold/receive a deposit. A buyer came to pick it up today but it didn’t fit in their car. $2150 has new LED display, LEDs, pincabs, various other new parts. Works/plays/sounds great.

That is pretty funny.

Yeah the buyer said he has 30 inches clearance to work with, and I said okay it’ll fit. He gets here, and turns out he took the measurements wrong and only had like 28 inches clearance lol. Oh well it happens

why not just remove head?
