Quoted from Dono:

Thanks for the kind words folks... always loved Expressway’s look and feel, and game play is underrated IMO... this game was a pleasure to restore, and it’s got a great new home to be shared by others.

I didn't see that they handed out ribbons, but I thought your Expressway was best of show. Nice work as always my friend!

Quoted from ckcsm:

That Kings & Queens you brought was a great looking and playing machine also.

Thank you. I had some start up issues with it until about noon on Saturday when with the help of Pat Gallagher, the problem was finally completely resolved.

Quoted from NicoVolta:

Allentown is the Wall Street of pinball shows. Do a deal, turn on your heels, do another. It’s a loss for the players however. Never seen a show with so many games pulled several hours before the end... and a Saturday evening, no less.
More like “Allentown Pinball Flea Market w/playable titles”... but still a good time. Will be back next year.

While I appreciate your feelings, as someone who is at the show setting up at noon on Thursday, by Saturday night I've had enough ...and have a 2 1/2 hour drive on top of it. Take down is 6:00 on Saturday, the show closes at 8:00. I've been going to Allentown and York since they started in the 90's and can tell you that by 6 there no people paying to come through the gate and they stop taking money. So it's not "several hours before the end", it's two hours and there are still some games to play. I religiously bring decent games to these shows and after 2 1/2 days, I've done my civic duty ...I am tired, my machines have been played out and I want to go home!
