    Looking to attend the show for the first time on Saturday. Are there usually parts there? A few things I'd like to find:

    Early Stern coinbox for a Meteor
    Gottlieb coinbox for Haunted House
    Plastic retaining clips for Williams Pinbot Wico coin door (to hold coin mechs)
    Coin return lever and hardware for an 80's Bally coin door for an Elektra.

    May be interested in a new project game. Need not be working or complete. Prefer 80's and 90's up solid state with a decent or nice playfield. Anyone bringing projects for sale?

    If anyone has an early Stern machine I could bring some of my light shields for the coin door. Keeps the light from shining up between the playfield and lockdown bar. I also have some spare playfield crystals for Elektra.

    This is the first year I was able to attend the show. Everyone involved did a fantastic job and I appreciate all the work to put it together. From the organizers, vendors, and those that brought out their games for everyone to enjoy. Thank you!!

    There was a great variety of games at the show and I was pleasantly surprised to see my old Blackjack machine there and meet the new owners. It was running the custom code I wrote. That added a couple new tunes and changed the rules. One of the few games that will reduce your score if you mess up. Really makes that particular machine more interesting. Seeing how well people enjoyed the upgrade makes me want to see what I can do for other old Bally machines.

    Having the vendors dragging out parts is awesome and I hope others bring extra spares next years. Already fixed a couple of the project boards from John Dayhuff, found a coinbox from another vendor, and some new parts from Pinball life.

    Finally was able to try out a Robowars machine and found out that a friend was the owner. Didn't even know he had any games until the show. It was a fun way to reconnect.

    Definitely looking forward to next year.

    I'm looking forward to the next PATZ show and hope the vendors all show up again and people bring out their spare parts. I picked up some spare as-is boards from Dayhuff and have been going through them in my spare time. Rebuilt a couple lamp driver boards and am working on a power board and MPU next. I've attached a picture of the worst one (an old STERN lamp driver) that I finished and verified in my Elektra. It cleaned up well. Before and after pictures are shown below.
