Is there a list somewhere on what EM's might be at this year's swap meet?

No, there is not. I receive all the freeplay registrations and respond to those who register games. Although I have a running list, we have learned that there are no guarantees how many of those exact titles will actually show up. Many folks change up, due to sales or preference. What I can say is there will be a "pile" of ems in the freeplay area, and the list will continue to grow right up until show time.

This is a somewhat loose list of some of the pinballs (all types included) that people may be bringing. It's being edited to add games as they are posted. This is likely just a tiny fraction of what's going to be brought. If you've never been to the Allentown show, it's THE place for flea market EMs and lots of great deals set up inside as well. I hope this show lives up to it's legacy.
While I'm at it, I'm going to hijack this thread and start a roll call. Remember to wear your Pinside badge! I have mine printed already and marked "EM sub-forum". Any ideas for where/when we could have a meet and greet? I'll be there all three days.
So who's going?
Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:Oh I'll be there with JR, his brother , and all the regular EM nuts around 1 pm Thursday and heading out Sunday first thing .
I'm bringing my Ship Ahoy And yes it's a keeper game, but it'll be FS.image_(resized).jpg
Hope Jr and his brother save me a hotdog on the grill this trip, and keep the mall cops away

Bring the neptune!
Quoted from pinhead52:Bring the neptune!
I actually bought that with the Free Fall as a package deal. Sorry it's staying home , it is a collector quality example in my honest opinion. 4 pins going into the trailer and I hope only one going home 
I'll be at Pinfest again this year. Thursday thru Saturday. Bringing my Spanish Eyes to (hopefully) sell. I repainted the cab to spec...love the game, but I'm outta room. I won't wear a name badge--just check the line at Billy's Pretzel Wraps in the Farmers Market. I'll be there.
Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:Oh yeah I was the guy running the grill actually . Are you the guy who was grilling in York ?
Nope. It wasn't him.
So if a Texan living on the West Coast wanted to come to this amazing show sometime, could I hook up with you EM guys? Would love to meet some Pinsiders and have someone who knows Pinfest kinda show me the ropes there. Allentown is on my pinball bucket-list to do someday. Maybe in the next year or two!

No I was the guy who had the zaccaria
Quoted from pinhead52:Yea come on out, JR knows everybody. Half the fun is just standing around talking with new and old friends.
And the other half is picking thru the flea market stuff!
And the OTHER half the fun, is the Farmer's Market!!

Quoted from jrpinball:Yeah, that cool "Earth, Wind, Fire"! Do you still have it?
Nope its in a new home down in Virginia I believe, Might bring my Zac Devil Riders, I have a buyer but no cash in hand yet So if I still have it by Allentown, it will be there for Freeplay/Sale

They're really good but those pretzel wraps with the steak & cheese are addicting . I also ate a donut shaped like a pretzel , washed it down with a Yeungling .
Quoted from splitskull:I posted in the other thread. I have a Nip-It FS that I can bring to the show for free.

I'll be there on Friday. Looking forward to seeing the crew.
BTW - Thanks for the reminder to bring a badge. I discovered that there is a badge maker in the my-pinside portion of the website. Wasn't aware of this until recently:

Quoted from jrpinball:Uhhhh...., no!
Bummer! Better luck next time... On a serious note, you are bringing that for free play correct, or did I imagine that?

Well this is a different Pinfest 2016 held at Caves Beach on the Central Coast of eastern Australia & held right now 24-25 Sept 16. Event organised by the Newcastle Pinball Assn with proceeds going to needy charities.
I attended yesterday a wonderfully organised event, at a terrific location & featuring over 50 machines with around 12 EMs (all operational). Great to talk with fellow pinheads. The Midway prototype Mystery Score was quite fascinating & said to be one of only three produced.
Here are some pics.
