Thanks for the pics! I'm getting excited for the Seattle show in June...

Looks like a spectacular show .. and not huge lines waiting to play. Thanks for sharing so many pictures.

Love seeing those really old ones. I've sent some feelers out to museums on the 1870's piece I just picked up.

Good lord!

Some pieces of true American History there.

Looks like it was a blast.

Do all of the machines that have the paper in the corner of the back glass mean they are for sale?

Autumnfade , chicken broth/soup, chocolate milk are may favorite hangover cures.

first time at a-town. all i can say is wow! i didn't wanna leave. i headed up with Fusion (2hr trek). got there around 4ish... stayed till close. we played and played and played. only time i stopped was for a cig break and a walk around the flea market. (which i thought would've had more...but it was friday). i'm sure alot more is there today and will be sunday.

i got a great deal on a set of tommy plastics (1/3 of what online vendors sell for) and a cpl other things.

games... stand-outs for me were. spectrum, totan, new spidey, pin-bot (best deal there that i saw ...$800) ...and had the best game of shadow i've ever had (700,000+). wanted to play that black hole but never got around to it. it was gorgeous.

all in all prob. played close to 30 games. no wait times really. longest wait was for spidey (5-10 mins). that and the black hole were the only games i saw with a wait.

can't wait for next year.

oh yeah.. played one game of IM. it was ok. i expected more.

Mikes Hard Lemonade with a shot of Vodka and a squirt of lemon. You don't taste the Vodka and the Lemonade doesn't have the beer smell to make you sick. This got me thru 12 days in Ios, Greece with 4 hours of sleep per night. I would get home from the clubs and go to bed at 6am, wake up at 10, swerve to the croissant cart, stumble over to the bar and get one of these. Then amble over to the beach until dinner. It's a poor man's Mamosa. I used to keep a 6 pack of these in my Fridge at all times until I got married.

Burger king or mcdonalds is the best hangover food in my opinion.

I guess you have better luck finding an open game on Friday. There were a great many pins, just way too crowded to enjoy. I lasted about an hour before retreating to my personal collection. That's the beauty of owning pins... No long annoying lines!!!

Is that your JD? And are those new stickers on the front right before the flippers? i have no idea what that part of the machine is called lol. By the way how is the gameplay on your JD i have yet to play one and i am a big fan too. Is it possible for you to make a video of you playing? there arent many good videos online of this machine.

Yes, Those are called custom rule cards. You can download them on Ken's Custom card page. I will post a video soon. I got spanked in a short tournament In Allentown today. Some ringer scored over 13 million on TOTAN to my measly 2.4 million. Some of those boys can play!

That area with the instruction and price card is called the Apron.

My bust, I didn't know you could buy stickers for the apron. Thanks Sealclubber,

Anyone else drooling the entire time over that brand new Attack from mars at the show....
wow that thing was nice looking. I grabbed the guys card but now cant find it - anyone know who he is - i think he was from CT.

nevermind - I found it, Doug Huse
guy does amazing work.

That Ironman with the LEDs was nice as well. I won the B division P3 tournament and won $200, and two free Division B entries at PAPA. Woo Hoo!!! The games set so hard is really a challenge. I played half of those machines that you have pics of up there. lol Not too bad for my second tourney. The show did really clear out by Sunday.

I probably saw some of you guys, I was the blonde dude with glasses over in the tournament corner most of the day.

Picked up a LED set for my T2 as well, time to get her cleaned up. Good times!

First time I played a Black Hole...lol (pinball machine) It was in really nice shape.

dglover - That TOTAN lamp didn't really spin. On mine, when you whack that puppy sometimes you need to ball save to let it slow down, because if you hit it again you stop it. Not good if you love the lightning...lol

I also like how on Sunday someone got all three balls stuck in the bottom ramp in a triangle on the Black Knight.

I didn't care for the TOM with the LEDs, the pinkish-purple was just blinding on a really nice machine. They should hang 4 pairs of sunglasses off the side like those ones you get at the optometrist - plastic Gargoyles

I just put the super brights from cointaker in my STTNG - it actually looks really cool, I even managed to not have to use as many bulbs in some of the GI lamps since they are so freaking bright. I will be making some adjustments here and there but overall the inserts look pretty darn cool. I'll try and post some picts.

http://cointaker.com/category.sc?categoryId=60 These things are no joke

Yeh I didnt like that ToM layout at all - ToM needs warm colors / reds yellows I'll keep my ToM the way it is maybe just some inserts.

One cool thing I did on the STTNG was put super bright purple lights in the bird of prey ship, helps light up the entire upper playfield with a nice purple glow but positioned right you the dont shine in your eyes.

Yeh there were two TOTAN's there the one needed some help especially that lamp, something was def wrong there and I think the one flipper was a bit weak

Fusion, I bought my LEDs for T2 from the same vendor. I'm glad to hear they are no joke, because there is a ton of bulbs in that bag! lol

I'm glad to hear you like the mod on your STTNG, I have that game as well. Maybe that will be my next move once I get Arrrgghnold back in action. I'll take your advice once I get the bulbs for it. How much did they charge you if you don't mind me asking. They sold me my T2 bulbs for $170, which I think they normally sell for $190.

yeh I only got the inserts and half the back box as kind of a test - i will now go back and buy the other ones I need: quick link its not finished but looks good so far

the only down fall of the super brights is they are not wide angle so for bulbs that go horizontal you may need somehting else - I paid 100 bucks - but like I said its not for the entire game and non of the flashers yet
