Confirmed show dates from Ivan May 6th-7th

Launched Butch's Game Garage since the last show! I'll have a double booth again behind great neighbors Cointaker & Jody @ Ramp O Matic!

Stop by & say hi! Look for the Butch's Game Garage banner!

Too early to call what games we are bringing (Last year we brought 14 games). It's fairly safe to say we will at have a Gun's N Roses LE in the booth. Open to trades as usual. Updated list as it gets closer!

Manny from Lights out pinball has a nice one for sale. I think he is going to be a vendor at the show, but I'm not 100% sure

They haven't had a booth at the show in years

Ivan has a booth where he sells regular glass. Coin taker has voodoo glass

I think prepaid was only for custom sizes. I think regularly glass he had a bunch of. I'm sure he'll chime in at some point

I usually do. Not sure what I'm going to do this year. Randy said supply is very short and he doesn't know how much longer he's going to have them. If I do have any for sale they're probably going to be above what you can buy them from him for right now.

I picked up a large collection this week. Included was a Stern Hot Hand. Not sure if that fits your bill or not. It's actually in pretty decent shape. Haven't really put prices on anything yet as I go through them. I try to stick with what games have recently sold for on pinside.

Before I get a bunch of emails the other games in that collection were a 6 million dollar man, Bally KISS, T2, T3, ACDC premium and a Rob Zombie spookshow (in marketplace now). I'll be getting pictures and putting them up for sale or listing them before the Allentown show as long as time allows. The TFTC and 8 ball are already gone.

I'll have a bunch of used Bally/Williams legs in my booth like I've had in the past. I like to put new legs on games and the used ones must clean up pretty good because they usually sell out every year. $15 a set

List of games coming soon, still shopping some and doing other extras. GNR LE should be there for sure & Mando Pro. If you follow me on Butch's Game Garage LLC on Facebook you probably have an idea what's coming. I post them as I pick them up there..

I'll have two booths behind Cointaker and Rampomatic, hoping to bring 10-12 games and fill it like last year. I've been trying to hold off on selling them and advertising that I have them to start the show strong. I do have a couple presold, but still aiming to have 10-12 for sale. Don't bother sending a message, at least 3 games are waiting for powder coating from the powder coater and two others I have to shop yet. I will say Mando pro and Guns n' roses LE for sure as I have multiple.

Pictures, prices and game list the week of the show.

If you follow me on Butch's game garage LLC on Facebook you probably have an idea of what I'm bringing.

I'll have a couple of lollipop rails but they're already powder coated. One black one purple. I also have side rails from a kiss I believe that needs to be repowder coated.

Only 2 days until set up!! Just back from AZ Zapcon (Which was lots of fun) Now ready for Allentown!

Here's my list of games and parts (with prices) that I'm bringing for my double booth behind Cointaker & Ramp O' Matic. Look for my new Butch's Game Garage banner!

I won't blow up this thread even more with pictures, this list is long enough! I have pictures of most of these games, but prefer an in-person sale and to start the show strong with nice stuff.

Terminator 2 - Shopped with new clear rubber, Non-Ghosting LED's, new Mirror Blades, new slingshot plastics, Pinball Pro sound system, new legs & bolts. Cabinet presents well but has been repaired over the years, playfield is really nice in my opinion. $4,650

Terminator 3- Non-Ghosting LED's, some new rubber, Flipper Fidelity sound system W/Amp. Cabinet & playfield really nice. $4850

Guns N Roses Limited Edition- Low plays, JJP topper and Concert poster side blades. Cabinet & Playfield are perfect (no pooling). $10,500

The Simpsons Pinball Party- All original. I bought as un-documented HUO, condition reflects that. Shooter & Itchy/Scratchy area perfect. Some minor cabinet blemishes that makes it not perfect, but hard to notice in the busy artwork. $9,000 OBO

AC/DC Premium- Looks previously routed, but I would bet single location based on cabinet. Shopped, cleaned and waxed. Armor re-done last week. Minor playfield wear (mostly lower). $9,000

Mandolorian Pro 1- Low plays HUO, Illusion Orange powder coating, Voodoo Glass & Shaker motor. $8,100

Mandolorian Pro 2- Low plays HUO, Silver Speckle powder coating, Voodoo Glass & Shaker motor. $8,100

Pictures of both in the powder coating thread later today.

Star Trek Pro - Out of my personal collection, so if it doesn't sell I'm fine keeping it. I bought it earlier this year as low play HUO, Condition reflects that. Mods include Color DMD, Topper, Mirror Blades, Shaker Motor, Pinball Pro sound system, Plastic protectors, asteroids, Cliffy shooter protector and transporter domes. $7,500

Flintstones- Sold

Big Indian- Sold

Halloween CE - NIB Looking for trades, will have on hand at the show.

Star Wars Premium - Sold

Saturday before the show opens I'm making a trade for Rush Pro and Avengers Pro. I'm told both are low play HUO, but I won't see them until the show. Aiming to price those around $6,400 if all is good.

Also may be getting a Godzilla Pro Saturday.

Star Light - Rare, only 100 Made. Sale pending (Saturday)

Parts table:

Color LCD DMD's - I'll have some for $500 Supply is limited and Randy is sold out (possibly until next year). I paid full retail for them + Shipping. So, slight markup but I'm OK keeping them on hand for games I shop.

Elvira/Munsters? Stern side rail set, they sold $300 from stern, 1 is slightly bent, may be fixable if powder coated. $125

I forgot to add that we will have the ability to take credit cards this year

I do have to add 3% credit card fees and 6% PA sales tax on all card sales.

Thanks John! I appreciate it!

No storefront in my future plans. I just retired from one job, I don't want to ever punch a clock again.

Anyone interested in a Stern Guardians of the Galaxy topper for $2,500?

I spoke to Ivan today and he said 1:00 but we may be able to get in as early as 12. Last year he got charged extra for opening the doors earlier

Just an update, only 3 Stern LCD DMD's left. Was also able to find one LED display ($20 less).

Mando wire ramps sold, GOTG topper sold.

Found a Creature from the Black Lagoon right ramp, brand new if anybody's interested.

Ready for tomorrow!

Luckily all not coming at once. Spread out over 3 days

I would assume it won't be much different than normal shows. You can look back to the last July show pictures and probably have an idea.

Most vendors have been there since early Thursday, come Saturday afternoon we're tired and beat up. Despite that, I know for a fact that Cointaker had games up and running until at least 5:00 p.m.

In the free play area I don't think anything was allowed to leave before 5 or 6. It's a long day and people get antsy, so once the official time comes it's usually an exodus.

As for free play selection, it's what the people bring. Be part of the solution and feel free to bring a newer game. I know for a fact that there was a Rick and Morty and an attack from Mars limited edition in the free play area all weekend (not mine).

It truly takes someone who wants to share the hobby to subject their game to what amounts to 3 days of abuse. For example I bought a show game from Cointaker, at the end of the show it had 300 plays on it to give you an idea of what a popular game gets put on it. Someone coming from their house has to break it down, get it out, get it transported to the show, set it up, have it played constantly for 3 days, and possibly bring it home. Break it down load it up and get it back into your game room for what? A $20-$40 admission ticket? All while hoping you don't bang it up or someone damages it in the entire process.

I don't know if this particular show has roaming technicians. It would probably be helpful if more people had their phone numbers on their games and people playing them would report any issues.

This show truly is a balance of buyers-sellers - patrons. Each one drives the other. If nobody buys, then nobody comes to sell, if nobody sells, nobody comes to buy or play. I still maintain Allentown is the best buying and selling show there is. You see more vendors in the hobby show up for Allentown than any other I've been to.
