Pinfest 2014 Allentown PA Photos

I really loved the Fireball that was there today. It played so well. My wife was laughing out loud at the disc throwing the ball around. First zipper flipper game for her too. It wasn't for sale, and I don't blame the owner one bit. I hadn't played a Fireball in a long time. It was the Saturday highlight for us.

Barb Wire is surprisingly fun. I wouldn't mind picking one up myself.

Great video.

Wooly, nineball, and fireball were all great fun. Good show.

When there for a Godzilla. Played it...liked it. No Not For Sale sign...no phone number...

My friend in Ottawa purchased the Godzilla.
Word is, his friend also pre-purchased the other (super nice) one being offered by Flipper Fidelity. Never made it into the show.

Glad to see that the Banzai Run I brought down on a pre-arranged sale ended up getting set up for free play by the new owner... and used in the tournament I think

Great show again this year!
Only regret was not getting to see Predator.

Wanted to play the Godzilla, looked really fun. But today the left flipper stopped working and it was turned off.

forgot to mention whodunnit. Really really enjoyed that one. Also didn't see a transformers this year. Enjoyed the hotshots but really worn playfield if I recall. I need to bring notebook with me next time to keep track of machines.

Anyone have the contact info for the Whodunnit? I forgot to right it down.

Great photos, Thanks!

Was Doug Huse from Lets Play Pinball there?

The left flipper was fine when I played it. I came back to play it again later on and it was dead. I didn't get a chance to see the head work....

That Whodunnit was absolutely gorgeous!

Was glad I had a chance to play Barb Wire, but it was set to five ball and has pretty long ball times to begin with. Made for a pretty excruciating tournament game.

He dropped off a few cabs to some people outside the show Saturday but didn't have the booth up.

That one was mine. Glad you folks enjoyed it

Eric, your games looked great...what was up with Xenon? Ball stuck in saucer all it seemed. Did the WD? Sell?

There were a bunch of women this weekend. Some young, some old. I talked with several WONDERFUL couples at the show and it was truly great to see so many wives enjoying pinball every bit as much as their husbands or any one of us guys. Hugs and 5 up to you ladies.

Congrats to you guys who's wives and girlfriends are as wacky over pinball as you! I wish my wife was. *Sigh*

FYI...I got the "Off with your head" sign from my wife if I bought anymore machines than the 2 deals I was already picking up there. Not good. LOL

No, problem, was posted in jest - I was laughing about the posts, it showed the enthusiasm of the pin-fanatics that's all.........

Bad solenoid connector. It worked when it wanted to. I didn't have time at the show to repin it. I was too exhausted at that point. Game is back at my house and will be fully repinned and working 100 percent before I list it here.

Who Dunnit did sell and shorty lafter I was putting the head down a husband and wife walked up to it, and the wife yelled at the husband, "SEE!!! I TOLD YOU IT WOULD BE GONE!!!" I felt bad for that guy, as it will probably be a long ride home for him.

Jester, thanks for the very comprehensive write up - good job!!

I Saw the Xenon on Friday and it was just beautiful, If I hadn't bought one of them many Dr Who's there, I would have bought this one, can't believe it did not sell , Now I know how nice they can really look, Didn't get to play it as on my 2nd stroll around Eric was working on that connector. At least I know its still available! Go figure, last year NO DW 's this year at least 4 of them

Where was that Xenon? Was it sorta in the middle of one of the rows?

It was in the middle and in the right down the the isle from the guy selling glass I think

I want to thank everyone who brought pins to the show for free play. Until you bring games to a show, you really don't realize how much work it is. I brought 3 games, 2 for free play and one pre-sold. I was lucky enough to get free access to a 6' by 12' trailer which made things a little easier, I still had to haul all 3 pins from the basement. Also brought some backglasses and pf's. I didn't get to bed until almost 3 am Fri and left the house 6:30 am to get to Allentown and set up for Friday's show. Stayed till 9 pm and was back 8:30 am Sta. I brought and sold my first game F2K, I was pleasantly surprised to see how many guys actually like F2K, also the Nine ball was big hit.

I got to see and play some great games that I havn't seen before. I especially liked "redeyes" BK2K, Chad's T2 and Jim's restored Taxi. There was also a real nice restored HS there. I see some familiar faces there every year, hopefully will find out who they are one of these years LOL.
Pinfest 2014 was awesome!

Thanks fro the pics. Bummed I missed it this year. Always a good time.

Was this the gorgeous one for 2k? I think there were three Xenons total. One outside and two inside. The guy outside was asking $1,200 which was just too much, especially when you saw that beautiful LED'd one inside.

Who had all the Circuit Boards in the vendor area ? Was there a WPC (for TAF) threre ?

Both Great Plains Modular and Rottendog were selling circuit boards in the vendor area. Rottendog has their boards mounted on red displays and powered up if that helps you figure out which one you mean.

Pinovators had a table full of misc. boards. We bought a WPC 95 driver and AV board. Great deal!

Yup thats the one, with all the LEDs I felt the price was right for a plug and play pin

Thanks for bringing the whodunnit. I never played one before and now its on the wish list.
There were 2 machines in the same row, spectrum i think, one was loaded with LEDs and one wasn't. Looked like 2 completely different games. Blue directional LEDS on playfield just made it POP.
anyone ever pick up the submarine game for $100? I was thinking the periscope would be a blast in any kids playhouse if game wasn't repairable.
also loved the celebrity owned items that were framed. Sinatra's screen worn calvalry uniform. very cool

I know the guy that bought the Sea Wolf, it is already fixed.

great pix.

thanks for posting !

Awesome game!

The Swords of Fury was not for sale. Anyone here snag the Grand Lizard that was for sale? I only saw it when it was shrink wrapped? What kind of shape was it in?

We sold the Grand Lizard. It was a good players machine with a NOS translite and a few other upgrades. The buyer had a brand new playfield for it so it should turn out real sweet.

One of those belongs to my brother Stephen. It had a professionally touched up and clearcoated pf. It was not for sale. The second one was for sale but I do not know if it sold. Odd that there were two examples of this pretty rare pin.

Yeah it sold..the one in the last row. I was talking to the guy that owned it when the buyer game to pay. He said he sold it earlier in the day

So many great pictures but weren't there any "Best of show" Roller Discos &/or Strange Sciences at this show?? Somebody was selling some really HOT posters there!

Ok, thanks for the info.

i think i saw a Strange Science in one of the pix. maybe it was on another thread?

Man those pics reminded me of so many games I wanted to try but never got a chance to..

I was glad to get some quality time with WOOLY though, I think that game is going to be a hit.

That WOZ looks like its running windows XP

Im curious about that as well. Was the monitor just plugged into another machine or something?

It was just being used as a juke box to demo the sound system. It was an empty cab.

We had a cycling video of our products for woz. Inside the cabinet was the factory amp we designed with our new cabinet speaker upgrade that uses the fourth unused channel on the amp. Doubles the power to a even better speaker. While the video was cycling we had music rubbing from my phone all weekend showing off our new Bluetooth juke box mod. Sold out of the Bluetooth mod will have to make more soon.

It looked better than it did back in the day, with the LEDs etc. really wanted to play but didn't get the chance. And I'm not a fan of Xenon. Hated it when it came out! But I want to revisit and see what I missed.

After listening to MET with your headphone set up I was sold! I was the "silverballmaniac1" email address if you recall from late Saturday. Were you the taller guy or the shorter guy (dark skin, dark hair) helping me in the booth? You guys have an amazing product.

Meh.

Just kidding. Those games looked great.
