Had a great time at the show this year...vendors, games and deals were much better than last year. Crowd was crazy Friday...lost my voice by 5pm. I bought a very nice Ripleys from locksmith and immediately wheeled it over to my booth for freeplay. It had close to 250 plays on it by the end of the weekend, and didn't give me a single issue. This weekend was a real stress test for all of my games, and now I know where the weak places are which need to be addressed.
Also picked up a Hook later in the day on Friday which wound up being nicer than expected...so I will eventually make those ramps in the future.
I met quite a few Pinsiders for the first time like Wizz, isochronic frost, Crazy Levi, Colsond3 and 29RIO to name a few.
I brought my games for freeplay in my booth mainly to show some of the ramps I produce installed in working games. I received so many questions asking on the price of the Road Show, so I stuck a "Make me sell price" that would ensure I'd be taking it home. Well, someone bought it and was absolutely ecstatic about it, so we both left happy. Win for both of us!
The gentleman at Pinball Parts plus was very nice, and I will be sure to buy more parts from him in the future. Folks like him who bring all the miscellaneous mechanical parts for games are a real lifesaver at these shows when you have a game go down and you want to get it back going on freeplay for everyone to enjoy.
I would strongly encourage a couple of the other regular parts vendors to consult their doctors for some mood enhancing drugs before next year.

It's definitely a sewer line issue...has to be!
