Quoted from Murphdom:Even if it does take place there will likely be less of a turn out which means there will not be as many games to play.
I'm planning on bringing at least two games.

Quoted from beelzeboob:If people want to sell games, they'll show up. If they're just bringing them to get in for free...well, the jury's out on that. I would think if you just disinfect your machine with Clorox wipes and let it sit for 72 hours, you'd insure that it wouldn't cause any infection.
Dwell time for Clorox is 1 to 2 minutes for successful destruction of pathogens. 72 hours is not required.

Quoted from jrpinball:Does he have to smuggle it in, or does he have to pay exorbitant import duties?
Haaaaa.
Reminds me when we went to a Shelby convention in Ontario a decade or two ago. My buddies from Tennessee were asked any booze or tobacco by customs.
Only 10 cases of beer and 4 cartons of cigarettes.
Everyone out the car!
Looking for a Stern Star Trek and a Bally solid state backbox, 78 to 82
Might bring a nice DE Playboy if not sold before then.
Quoted from tomdrum:Which style Bally solid state head? Hinged front frame, solid front frame or fold down style?
What does the fold down style look like? Curious.
Solid front frame like Star Trek or Flash Gordon would be ideal.
Quoted from BozoTheClown:I have seen several for sale lately as people are presumably dumping them to pick up the repo version just announced.
I have not seen so many for sale in one shot before.
Quoted from tomdrum:By fold down, I meant the style where the head fold down on the lower cabinet like FG. 2 bolt holes in the base. I have an extra FG bare head.
Interesting, my Flash Gordon has 4 holes unless I'm missing something.

Possibly this was to allow the front to fit over the main cabinet when swung down on its hinge.
I swear I'm just going to make one from scratch. Any other time I'm tripping over the damn things for sale.

Looking at a Black Jack head you would appear to be correct.
Which isn't an insurmountable problem since the backs are often times trashed. Slicing an inch off the back and making a new rear panel isn't the end of the world. But if I'm going to that much work it is pushing me in the direction of a scratch built.

Quoted from SilverUnicorn:So it looks like I will be bringing either Phantom of the Opera or Bad Cats for the free play area for people to enjoy.
There will be a sale price on them but it will be stupid. Just saying. I prefer to bring it home with me. LOL Same with Bad Cats. At the show even if you have a "Not For Sale" sign you get SO many questions about sale price this is how I deal with that.
Hope to see Pinsiders at the show!

My wife loves Bad Cats, did you bring it to the show 2 years ago? If so she played that very one.
Can bring along, LMK if interested cash or trades considered.

Quoted from pinhead52:yes look for Berk
Great guy, look forward to meeting him we have spoke on the phone.
Quoted from yfz450:I’ll be bringing a bunch of 3D printed parts for sale. Lamp Baffles, Pop Bumper bases and upper playfield Popeye lamp covers. Will have some baffles printed in black for classic stern games. [quoted image]
I might pick up some baffles from you.
Quoted from Fmfreim:Does anyone have revenge from mars at the show for sale? And know for how much
We played one on the floor, left flipper was angry but pretty fun.
Quoted from poppapin:Where were all the Woodrails? Isn't there usually "Woodrail Row"? or is that at York?
York
Quoted from jaytrem:Came across plenty of issues on the solid states too. With that many machines going, you know a certain % will have issues. I suspect most people have good intentions. I don't doubt that people do it, but I think somebody would have to be nuts to haul a junker just to get in for free.
My machine played pretty well, but like JR, I could feel the difference. Especially when the whole place was up and running.
My wife and I love both solid state as well as EM and played both at the show, the problem cut across both generations of pins.
One of the best playing pins we tried was 4 Million BC, it looked and played excellent.
I have resisted listing the pins we played that were "bad" just on the general principle that 30 to 50 year old stuff can break at an inopportune moment.. There was more than usual this year though compared to 2019.
Quoted from DRDAVE:That 4 Million BC was Dave Metrando's game he brought. Excellent work. Look and played like new.
New owner got a great deal on a great game! =)
Best one I have played so far, it was spot on.
Quoted from jrpinball:That Farmers Market is amazing. Was telling my wife about it today. Might make a road trip with a couple of coolers just to go there.
We did. Nom.nom.nom.
Quoted from Ballypalooza:Who was selling all the leds and rubber rings on the tables at the entrance to the indoor flea section? Thx

Quoted from Tophervette:I sorted through several of those milk crates and tubs. I found a 120v power wiring harness with switch box. I asked how much and was told $120. I asked if he do better and was told no. I walked away.
The switchbox is dirt cheap. $5
