Here's an interactive 360° panorama from the show today:

and here is a panorama from last year in the old PPM warehouse showing a small part of the museum's collection:

Quoted from cfh:"No other show on earth, has such a complete and vast collection of pins on display (most working) of pinball from the 1930-1990 eras (from all makes)"
I am sorry but that statement is NOT true.
No need to apologize. But you offer nothing.
Why not share which show has a more complete and vast collection from the 30's to 90's?
Went yesterday. Not busy at all. Chill atmosphere. Good collection of modern games. I saw 3 ghostbusters. Lots of oldies. Really like Dirty Donnys "hellacopters". Great look. Fun target game EM
Quoted from cfh:I don't want to step on this thread but the statement is wrong.
So you make a contradictory statement in this thread but won't provide support for your statement because you don't want to step on this thread.
Gotcha.
Got back a few hours ago. We had a great time! Finally met Practical Steve, ran into tons of old friends (Ron, Henry, James, Taro, Rob). Atticus LOVES the pinball trailer. Great show! Good selection of newer games, and more EMs than I could count! Only game that was down that I really wanted to play was Blackwater (which looked amazing, probably the best in shape one I have seen in years!)
Thanks to all who,helped put on the show!
Quoted from RTS:So you make a contradictory statement in this thread but won't provide support for your statement because you don't want to step on this thread.
Gotcha.
right. i'm just saying the information posted is incorrect. you can do your own research, i'm not here to spoon fed it to anyone. It would be unfair of me to step on their thread, i'm just trying to keep facts and statements correct.
Phenomenal time at PPE! I was really blown away after being there a month and a half ago to see how much work they got done in setting up a really great show. To anyone that tirelessly volunteered thank you it was much appreciated. My thoughts:
It was a great space. To those that worried that it was in a huge warehouse it really was set up perfectly. Never felt crowded. Once night fell and the skylights got dark it felt like you were playing outdoors. Just beautiful. Never too hot, a little cool in the evening but nothing a sweatshirt couldn't handle.
EMs and Woodrails. What and amazing collection to get to play. Such a huge variety of both. Games were set up very well, super impressed. If you walked up to a game that was turned on, it played great. And not that many were turned off in the main rows.
Modern games. This is where many would find the fault, as they were the most underrepresented. But let's be honest, they are not the museums focus. Newer Stern were not really there, I think three GB though. Lots of great 80s games though. I barely went in this row myself as there were so many EMs and older rare games to play.
Games I walked away really loving.
EM- butterfly, mars trek, amigo. Tom Tom.
Solid state- evil kenievel, Harlem globetrotters, meteor, jungle lord.
If you were on the fence and didn't go (ahem @pismoarcade) make the trip next time, it was fun!
Thanks to Echa, who's Pinside name escapes me for a really fun tournament even if I was knocked out almost right away.
Also, great seeing old friends like @jbovenzi, pinheadpierre
bicyclenut of course close friends like
mof and @pinholder. And finally got to meet @dsuperbee!
Knew I would forget someone, good to see fireball2 as well!
Quoted from practicalsteve:If you were on the fence and didn't go (ahem pismoarcade) make the trip next time, it was fun!
Ha! Thanks for the shout out! Fireball2 called and texted me throughout the weekend giving me updates on how terrific it was. I was concerned about the location, not to mention the riots/freeway protests happening in Oakland. Hopefully, things will calm down by next year.
I also love Butterfly & Mars Trek. The backglass is trippy and play is super fun. PPE has always been my favorite expo. So happy to hear that the new location was a success!
Quoted from practicalsteve:Also, great seeing old friends like jbovenzi, pinheadpierre bicyclenut of course close friends like mof and @pinholder. And finally got to meet dsuperbee!
Yes! awesome seeing you and pinholder there. I finally feel like I'm getting some friends in the pinball world other than my local buddies. Im hoping I can hang out and help at PAGG this year coming year.
Quoted from fireball2:Best show ever!
+1 and right during a long Veterans weekend. PPE should do this every time there is full moon. "Shoot the Moon!" was the greatest and I made sure to buy stuff from vendors and a raffle ticket to support. There were just too many machines to play and such an inviting setting. Can't wait for the future and this production. THANK YOU for the preservation.IMG_0035 (resized).JPGIMG_0038 (resized).JPG
Quoted from cfh:"No other show on earth, has such a complete and vast collection of pins on display (most working) of pinball from the 1930-1990 eras (from all makes)"
I am sorry but that statement is NOT true.
While the VFW show is a great show,
from what i have heard and hope to attend in person next year,
with well over 280 pins on display and playing flawlessly (99.7% of the time).
The Banning show also is great, and definitely has more SS/DMD pins,
but lacks many pre1965 era pins.
The PPE show does have more woodrails set up and playing than any other show on earth
plus many pre war flipperless pins
and a lot more variety of EM pins from the 1960s and 70s from BLY WMS CCoin besides GTB.
That plus over a dozen European EM pins.
Probably 300+ EM pins plus 150+ SS/DMD pins set up and playing with another 150+ pins waiting their chance.
The collection is not complete, (far from it) but it is getting there,
where the PPM's collection does fall off, is the post1990 era to present.
Quoted from pinwiztom:There one one really great display exhibit,
that was put together by a pinball enthusiast from Colorado, (sorry forgot his name)
but really ingenious and creative way to visually display the workings of pinball mechanics.
Everything from Flippers to pop bumpers
to magnets to bagatelles to horsey unit to baseball running man unit,
and also turned some of them into a interesting interactive skill game
onto themselves.

...and I have no problem letting the post-1990 era fall off! PPE doesn't need them. Too common everywhere else.
Alas, couldn't make it this time. Had already committed myself to the Houston Arcade Expo.
On the upside, another award for best EM!

Which EM was best?
Quoted from dasvis:Which EM was best?
I must have played that 1960 Bally Beauty Contest for over an hour.
who needs flippers anyway?
Quoted from NicoVolta:1971 Bally Expressway
Loooooove that game! Been looking for one for a long time! Totally on my wishlist.
PPE16 totally ruled, and I got #1 high score on the Ghostbusters they gave away in the raffle.
My fave woodrail was Whirl-Wind. Auto-kickers baby. 3 ball and brutally addictive. I loved that Bally Mad World, and even though we could never get it to work right, the Double Barrel was still a lot of fun.
Quoted from Adams:I must have played that 1960 Bally Beauty Contest for over an hour.

Who needs ball two?
Quoted from pinwiztom:Here is a weblink to article on pinballnews
about PPE7 and other particulars about the show and PPM.

Thanks for posting that link. Really enjoyed the read. Have to mark down a return visit to PPE in the not too distant future.
FYI during SF Beer Week they will be opening up the PPE extension again and you can drink craft brews from local breweries:

Ill be there
Thank you to all the fellow pinheads
that helped with the last loadout (today)
from my old storage shed(s) in Bakersfield,
and thanks to those that plan to help with the unloading
of the pin collection's new home at the PPM annex on Sunday.
Quoted from pinwiztom:Thank yo
Thank You for sharing your collection with the Museum so others can experience the joy pinball brings people, and we get to play those cool games.

I was there helping load up with Michael this last weekend and what an amazing collection you have donated to us! I was really happy to see Andromeda and the Xenon was so insanely nice. The amount of add-a-ball games you had is fantastic! It will be really fun to set up the add-a-ball's next to the replays in the warehouse for the next show! Only thing missing was a Seawitch, we need a second so I can buy one
Looking forward to meeting you someday!
Glad there were enough hands on deck to help Mike load things up, since i could not make the trek south.
I look forward to seeing all sixteen of the WMS reverse wedgeheads set up again
and like you say the many GTB AAB & Replays cousins set up side by side.
I am really proud of the early 60s WMS collection in particular,
with 46 pins out of 70 produced during the span from 1960 to 1967.
Mike mentioned to me that there was one pin in storage
that was still totally wrapped up in cardboard and plastic strechwrap,
that no one knows what it is; so he may decide to make a contest out of it
for people to guess what it is, maybe a fund raising raffle associated with it.
I have a faint inkling what the game may be,
and i am fairly certain that the PPM does not have one (until now).
Quoted from pinwiztom:seeing all sixteen of the WMS reverse wedgeheads set up again
OMG. OMG. OMG. Can't wait!
Alas, I have but two...

That is going to be fun. There was a lot of debate on whether to cut her open and see what it is, but I am looking forward to the big reveal soon! My main focus is getting all of your Reverse wedges up as well as the AAB games. I'm sure Michael will give you progress pics once we start working it out
