I got an email that marcos won’t have glass I preordered. Not end of world but curious Is this for everyone or just not all orders were able to be filled. ?
Quoted from topkat:I got an email that marcos won’t have glass I preordered. Not end of world but curious Is this for everyone or just not all orders were able to be filled. ?
Yeah no standard or widebody glass made it into the shipment at all. HD glass is not part of this as it ships from Stern
Quoted from mrgone:Dig this.
It’s good.
It is GREAT! If I were in front of the camera we would still be shooting takes.
Such great community support this event has, outstanding karma.
Can't wait - how many days now?
Quoted from pinfixer:I have a extra reservation for a king room at the Hampton Inn that I do not need. Arriving Thursday, departing Sunday. $664.84 is the rate quoted total for the nights inclusive of tax. I wanted to pass it along to pinsiders first, but if I don't get a taker by Sunday night I'll cancel the reservation and let it go back to the hotel.
PM me privately if you want to have me transfer this reservation to you.
PM sent.
Quoted from Cheddar:at this point looks like Mad World
Mad World was a lock, now it's giving me fits right before the show. Don't want to disappoint the fans, but might have a last minute pinch-hitter for it.
Will come up with something to satisfy the crowds (Maybe Gottlieb Team One !) 
Quoted from PismoArcade:PM sent.
Oh I like this!!

Spoken for. Room no longer available
Best news I’ve heard is the PnHL will be there conducting their 2nd annual super secret high stakes pinball tournament. WHAM!

Amazing how things work out.
This was the first time in many years that I was going to miss this yearly expo because I waited too late to snag a hotel. Many thanks to Pinfixer for hooking up a fellow Pinsider!
Can't wait....6 DAYS UNTIL GSPF!!!

YEAHHHHHH BUDDY!!!!
Quoted from practicalsteve:YEAHHHHHH BUDDY!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you, Steve!
Anyone interested in a bottle share Saturday afternoon - I know there are quite a few folks around here who appreciate good beer... I'm happy to host at our campsite if there is interest - All will be welcome, but everyone should plan to bring a 750 or 2 16oz cans of something you are excited about and is probably not something you can get at Safeway (see photo below for what I'm planning on bringing)... though of course nobody would be turned away. DM me if you would like in. Mmmmmm Beer and pinball...
IMG_7190 (resized).JPGJust finished a pinball night,with the crew test driving the games for the show and campcade.
Show: Excalibur, Tile Fight, Big Daddy, Fireball '72
Camp: Oh Boy, Grand Prix
Pinballlew took $5 from me playing Oh Boy, and set high score on it AND Grand Prix, which he rolled. @jbovenzi's Fireball '72 is a screamer.
All games performed admirably and are now deemed show-ready.
See everybody soon; gotta go reserve my trailer.

That was fun! Great to get some flipping practice in...thanks for hosting (and for the sourdough!)
General question for all you festival experts.
When you move your older Bally's that pre-date backbox hinges, do you move the backboxes separately or wrap them up together?
I see many of you wrap with moving plastic and moving blankets. Just curious how everyone does this!

Most wrap them together.
A tie down or ratchet strap with moving blankets.
Some plastic wrap too.

Since I am almost always moving machines by mice elf, I move them separately, wrapped in blankies. Even when I had a Speakeasy, which has a hinged head, I slid it off the hinges to move it. Just too heavy for me to manhandle both together up and down my stairs.
A couple of times, I've taken out the playfield to get that sucker back up the stairs.
Quoted from fireball2:mice elf
cool.
Quoted from Cheddar:We need some brawndo too. Damn $125/can on ebay! NOPE!
I had 2 cans once. I drank one and the other one exploded while it was sitting on my desk.
BRAWDO: The Desk Mutilator!
I will be bringing various selections from Libation to trade with you this time, Cary. I finally have a good source!
Hey guys. I will likely be at the show on Saturday.
I am selling my mostly restored Funhouse and can it bring it to show if anyone is looking for a nice one.
Send me a message if interested for details.
Dave
Quoted from ianwho:I look forward to coming again. As always my 4:20 friendly pinside members are welcome to ask me to smoke them out. I’ll be bringing plenty of bud.
A little late to the party but count me in! 
Quoted from practicalsteve:Why am I not surprised I know two of the people that gave this a thumbs up
Now at least 3. 
Regretfully, Mr. Mad World will not be appearing during 2019 GSPF. As the rest of the world goes to heck in a hand basket, perhaps he will make an appearance next year. Mr. Cheddar, can you please substitute GTB Team One for that game?
Since Team One is late model Gottlieb Add-A-Ball and not easily set to free play, I wired a microswitch to one of the Coin Door, coin wiring switches to start a game. it will have to stick through the front of the door to let my people play.
Team challenge: If anyone comes up with a more elegant free play solution, I am willing to have them modify my game (without drilling holes please).
As always, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions...

Done!
although team one is an aab, it still has a credit unit on the motor board, similar to the semicircular units used on mid 70’s Gotliebs. To covert to free play, just short or close the zero position contact, or disconnect the subtract coil.
