I have this "Trade Stimulator" if anyone is interested. I took it completely apart, cleaned it and waxed the pf. Make me an offer. I've seen three sell online for $500-$550 and this one last year for $2100 (Tad excessive) https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/105460454_1936-abt-skill-card-trade-stimulator-nos

Quoted from Pinwizkid:Looking for an Williams EM backbox metal door for a Pit Stop. Measurements are roughly 27.75" wide and 25" tall. Anyone got a spare?
[quoted image]
Ha, my Pit Stop project is missing one too..
Quoted from ForceFlow:There's plenty of ventilation. Smells don't generally linger for long. Everybody just seems to like talking about it.
Last year was a whole different animal. Usually it's here and there, last year it was a sewage treatment plant after a hot summer day. I'm used to bad smells, but it was comical.
Great show, best around! No complaints....had fun meeting up with friends, doing the show, and eating good food after...then downing beers after hours. Survived! Even Survived the hotel desk employee willing to do anything for a cigarette at 2am lol
Quoted from Emig5m:Are you guys who buy multiple pins at one shot millionaires and/or just in the gaming industry as business purchases or is it like your only hobby and all of your access have fun funds can go into this one hobby? I'll be hard pressed to even own one pin at the prices of these things and I own six uprights including the ever so desirable Budweiser Tapper, which in of itself is unheard of to the general population to own multiple arcade games in your home, and still the price of one pin is like nearly my entire upright collection....lol. I ride ATVs, I fly and own various types drones, go a lot of concerts and they're priced out the azz anymore, hi-fi (which I'm trying to get out of, if anyone wants some B&W 800 series speakers towards a pin let me know lol), etc.... at the end of the day, love them or not, it's a dead serious amount of money for a single game let alone buying multiple of them at one shot, and especially when anything worth owning/playing costs more used than brand new lol. Eh don't mind me, I'm just a poor scrub trying to hang with the upper class crowd... :p
I used to buy and sell before prices went completely stupid. I'm into everything I own for nothing. I refuse to pay the prices I see these days, I just laugh. If something new comes out that I must have (BTTF for example), I'll let two go, or maybe just say F it and buy it....but again, I have a full arcade in my basement that I'm into for nothing just because I bought, repaired, and flipped games for a few years. I'm basically no longer a player in this current market.
Quoted from Palmer:I thought the snack stand was reserved for people that willingly want to shit their pants.
Ha, 100%! Years ago I stupidity made the mistake to grab a cheese burger at the show. I'm cool with low end "fair type" burgers etc, but wasn't expecting a "liquid" burger. It was like tasteless paste, which my gut battled for a few hours afterwards. So, only Farmer's Market food for me ever since (and Quesadilla's from the bar across the street).
This year I was a few beers in while walking by the food stand and thought the hotdogs smelled yummy....I ordered one, and watched the old guy behind the counter drop it three or four times on to the table while trying to get it in the squished little bun. I quickly regretted my decision lol. It was edible, but wasn't as good as the smell.
Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:York is my second favorite show, great variety of pins, laid back atmosphere, and the Deli up the street, Latucca's has outstanding food. The food stand inside the flea has great seating and clean bathrooms. I love your show.
How does the York Flea market compare to Allentown?
Quoted from jrpinball:It's still a great show. I actually like it better than Pinfest. There's plenty of project games for sale, and even some parking lot swapping. If you've never been, it's definitely worth attending.
Hmm...It's on my radar, have never been. Have been driving down to Allentown for almost 15yrs I believe, but never ventured further for a show.
Quoted from DanMarino:Hopefully this post will be well received. Objectively, did any of you guys come down with COVID after the Allentown show? Now that the WHO and CDC are indicating the pandemic is over, I'm just wondering if any of you guys became sick afterwards. I know it isn't scientific, just curious to hear what the experience was.
Just a mild case of Herpes
Quoted from ultimategameroom:No crop dusters at the show on Fri and we only crossed paths with one person who smelled like a Wookiee. I actually brought earplugs this year but didn’t need to use them. I think that was related to the large overhead doors being fully open and letting some noise escape. One of my favorite things to do each year is attending this show![quoted image]
O, there was crop dusting on Friday...I know, as I have a few GI diseases and was in FL the week prior (System failure)...I'm, sorry but I couldn't get outside for every high pressure release. I'm a duster, and I apologize to anyone within 100' of discharge.
