Looking for Bally project games like Harlem, 1981 EBD, Centaur, Rolling Stones and Fathom. Have a working Medusa to trade.
Looking for a 1973 Gottlieb Hot Shot and 1966 Bally Bazaar BG's in good condition.
Will be bringing a Gottlieb Volley and Gridiron which are wall hanger condition to better.
Looking for Bally SS project games, especially a 1981 Eight Ball Deluxe or Rolling Stones. They can be beat to hell, missing boards and displays, will do full restorations. Possible trade for a working Medusa in players condition.
Quoted from SKORR_Arcades:I have a good Bazaar back glass on my working machine. Do you have a beat up Bazaar BG that you would swap plus cash for mine?[quoted image][quoted image]
Yes, PM me.
Quoted from king_pin:Anyone know if flipper fidelity have a booth at the show? Looking for LE speaker conversion kit.
Never before I can remember.
I'll be in the flea market again this year although it will be scaled back from last year since my buddy WeatherbyMAG can't set up with me again. Stuff I can bring:
1) Bally Wizard OE BG- near mint, will seal and install new trim $275
2) Gottlieb Volley BG- has wear, 6/10. Will seal before show. $65 *SOLD*
3) Gottlieb Gridiron BG- has wear 5/10 Wall hanger $50
I have a couple games I could have finished.
1) Bally Medusa- Good player's condition. Most boards are new. LED's. PF has mylar, I'm shopping it now. BG is nice, 8/10. Will be around $3200 when done. Will trade +/- cash depending on condition for a 1981 Bally EBD or Bally Rolling Stones. I plan on a full restore on either of those titles so beater games with cash are preferred.
2) Bally Bobby Orr- Good player's condition. Decent PF & BG. Average cabinet. Will have shopped and 100%. $1750. Same trade option as above applies.
Rather than clog up the thread with multiple pics, PM me for pics.
Quoted from LoudBeardyHatGuy:Are there enough junk parts vendors
Indoor flea market, right rear spaces.
I need a 1967-1971 Gottlieb PF glass lock down bar. HELP! Picked up a nice game missing it. Will pick up at the show or will pay to ship now.
Quoted from frosken:Are there any updates on the 2022 floorplan layout and/or which vendors will be present? I need to buy a few items and it would be nice to pre-order depending on who's gonna be there. I am aware of the usual suspects, but a list that doesn't date from 2019 would be nice...
This is the vendors in the main area last July:
Quoted from bluespin:I'm looking to pick up some classic Stern project pins and parts.
I hope you find them but that stuff is a feeding frenzy now.
I need a Gottlieb EM rear door retainer channel. The U-shaped piece the metal door sits in. Needs to 27.5" or longer out of a 2 or 4 player game.
Quoted from 1stpinballdave:Call Steve at PBR.
Thanks, just talked to him Thursday before I got the game today.
I have a Bally Medusa new heavy gauge reproduction apron and shooter gauge for sale at $150 if anyone needs one.
Quoted from mbrave77:If im in the market for a game do I just bring a shit ton of cash
Cash is king. Bring it.
I'm finishing up a Bally Party Zone, it will be listed in the marketplace this weekend. Working game, new rubbers and cleaned PF. Zarr head works, cabinet has fading and wear. PF is pretty nice. While I prefer not to bring it since I have room to just bring one game and have others, I will bring it for a trade for a Bally Rolling Stones or EBD project game.
I also have a Bally Medusa that works 100% I'm shopping out now.
Stuff I'm looking for:
1) Bally late EM or SS coin door hinges in nice shape.
2) Gottlieb EM 2 screw lock down bars.
3) Nice Gottlieb coin entrance plate, flat style late 60's era.
4) Gottlieb EM half moon coin chutes.
5) Bally Bazaar BG in decent + condition.
6) Bally SS widebody lock down bar.
I have a 20+ year collection of Bally SS parts, nothing rare, just nuts and bolts parts. PM if you need anything. I'll be in the flea market Friday only.
Quoted from tomdrum:I'm loaded. Bringing Bally EBD and Medusa repro aprons with shooter gauges and a bunch of other Bally SS stuff. Leaving Friday at 6:00 so be quick.
Space #23 in the indoor flea market, back wall 2nd from the left.
After spending 6 hours there today, there are a lot more games already then last July. Gottlieb Neptune in the flea market. At least 40 EM games in the flea market. A bunch of newer ones as well. A project Xenon too.
Free play has newer games to woodrails. It was great to see some Pinside friends there during set up.
My thoughts as a second year as a vendor in the flea market area after 18 years of just attending the show. I couldn't stay till Saturday, my daughter graduate's college tomorrow so I left late this afternoon. Not a business, just a hobbyist that has accumulated a pile of parts over the years and sells what I no longer need. Today's attendance in my mind way up over last year. It was like 2019 pre Covid.
I sold more than 50% of the parts I brought by 2:00. As someone who restores games and in my pre-vendor life as an attendee, I would get thru the doors as quickly as possible just to get to the flea market to hunt for parts I wanted. I never touched a game in free play for hours. I realized after 2 shows now that there are a hundred + people like me. The games will wait, I'm on a parts hunt. My kind of people.
I was there Thursday at 12:30, sold the game I brought within an hour. Picked up a bunch of parts for games I'm working on. Played games for hours in free play. After 3 trips to see Skip, got a nice set of Gottlieb EM legs. Not his fault at all, the set-up confusion that happens.
The best part of Pinfest is meeting other vendors, sharing stories and hanging out. Made a bunch of friends and saw some of the others from years past.
Thank you Rich Lovef2k for the Bally rectifier cage as a present. He's one of the best in the hobby. I meet Jon (I'll leave his last name out since he not on here). Long time vendor since the Wizard days at Allentown. Another great guy.
Thanks Ivan for another great show and I will see my new and old friends again next year. And many at York.
Forgot @freddy. Thank you. We could about talked about Mustangs for hours on end. And we almost did!
Quoted from ectobar:Only cheese steak?
It's no doubt a banger but the other flavors are delicious as well.
I went Chicken Bacon and Pastrami this year... and then had a pretzel dog later... and then some donuts ... and then some coffee and candy... and then when I was about to leave there was still some traffic so I had some Kimchi stew
So you were the infamous crop duster? LOL
Whoever brought the TAF in free play, that was a really sweet playing machine. I was there at 8:30 on Friday morning and later that morning played 10 straight games on it long before the doors opened. It was a blast. I wish back in 2000 when I started buying games and was picking up $400 Bally SS projects and $300 Gottlieb EM's, I'd bought TAF when they were coming off route cheap.
While all the free play games weren't powered up early Friday morning, playing those that were without any crowd was really great. I was able to play 3 hours Thursday and another 2 hours before the doors opened Friday. Made being anchored to my vendor spot easier.
Quoted from jrpinball:There weren't very many wedgeheads, but the guy with all the EMs to the left when you first walked into the flea market is Mike Karsen. He's in Bridgewater, NJ.
That was 2" flipper row! Mostly multi player games.
These Covid infections make me glad I played the free play area Thursday and Friday before the doors opened. After that in my flea market space without the crowds.
Quoted from Butch2099:Most vendors have been there since early Thursday, come Saturday afternoon we're tired and beat up.
I totally agree! My 2nd time as a vendor and I changed it up this year. Got there early Thursday and set up. Sold a game I had brought by 2:30 and it ended up in free play. Got to play games Thursday till 7pm and was back by 8:30 Friday. Got to see all the vendors before the doors opened and play a lot more games.
By 3:00 Friday I had sold 70% of the used Bally SS parts I had brought. I had to leave Friday, and was happy to only have 2 boxes of parts to load. I bought a lot nice parts I'll be using to restore games for next year's show.
Quoted from Williampinball:Looking for ether Popeye,Apollo 13 ,STTNG ,TAF if we can make a deal can pick up at the show pm what u have
