    I hadn't seen it mentioned on here and wanted to give a quick shout to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I know they started and were primarily retro gaming like consoles and such , but in the last few years have added an arcade and now this year going bigger on pinballs. We will be there and bringing about 12-13 pinball machines, including Woz and the new Stern Star trek all on free play. We will have product and such on display and for sale, but primarily coming to bring the pins in their free play arcade.

    Here is the site for more information on times, place and tickets http://retrogamingexpo.com/ . It's going to be at the convention center Saturday and Sunday.

    That is "Pauline". A rom-hacked custom DK where you control Pauline and recue Mario.

    Thats what you get pulling glass and LEDing pins during a show. LOL. Had to happen sooner or later. Hope it was off and all clear before it blew, or that's a long shop job on a pin.

    Yup, it was off and set away from the pin itself. Oh well, more glass coming so that pin can be up and running tomorrow. WoZ getting loads of play and only went "down" once and a simple reset fixed it. Constant play on the 12 games and so far nothing down besides the glass explosion game.

    Actually, our WoZ broke mid day. The left outlane light board is now dead so over half the lights in the game are out. Everyone that sees the game sees it in this condition.

    Dude that sucks. Not the best PR for JJP either.

    Really enjoyed playing these pins on Saturday! The new Star Trek was fun to test out, along with the MM which was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I'm not a big fan of the over the top LED lighting on most pins, but was quite impressed with these.

    I also loved that your warm white LEDs are actually warm white without a hint of blue or purple to them. Placed my order on the web site last night!

    Glad you could make it out and got a chance to play those pins as well, especially the new stark trek. I have become quite the fan of that pin!
