This will be my first trip to a Pinball show of any kind allthough I have been on Pinside for several years. I am coming from Southern California so want to do it up right! I have owned and worked on Pinballs as a hobbiest for 20 years. Anything I need to know about coming to Pinfest? Anything not to miss, places to also check out, do I need to pre-register, etc? I am staying with family in Nazareth, PA which is a town over from Allentown but may have time for a road trip while I am there. I am currently restoring a BOP, trying to see what it needs and then think about what I can fit in my luggage on a plane as far as LED's, parts, etc. May have to dump some clothes! lol Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

PM's would be fine as well so as to not tie up this thread. Thanks!

I too wanted to say we had a great time at Pinfest! This was my first experience of a Pin show of any type. We traveled all the way from California to visit my wifes parents near Allentown which was a nightmare due to a flight cancellation, but we made it to the show on Saturday. It was great meeting some of the vendors that I have placed many orders through in the past and playing many new machines. Due to the distance I couldnt buy any Pins, but I bought a BOP 2.0 kit from Cointaker and some parts so might as well have bought one! Thanks to everyone who put this show on, it was a big part of our fun vacation!

Not going to PAGG this weekend Rob, I was just at my first ever show, cant overdo it! lol

Your daughterboard is up and running in my BOP. Thanks!
