    Thank you for bringing it. It’s a rare, fun and unique game you rarely see.

    Oh,
    111 days until Showtime!!!

    #54 1 year ago

    Think I am bringing Stern Disco EM for the campgrounds. Probably going to Sell it at the end of the weekend.
    I have a garage full of parts for the Swap meet if anyone needs anything particular let me know.
    What else is for sale?

    I'll B bringing my "ROB Zombie" on adult play for Camp Silverball!!

    #57 1 year ago

    Never played this one . Can non campers stop by and say howdy ?

    #59 1 year ago

    Howdy all.
    If I don't sell it before the show, I'll be bringing an above average Data East Torpedo Alley for sale. I might bring a Williams Black Knight for sale too. Both will be fully shopped with Titan rubbers and Comet LED's. Because I'm not sure what it will end up taking to get them show worthy, I can't really say what my asking price would be yet. Probably about $3500 for Torpedo Alley and $2000 for Black Knight. I may also have a Williams Jungle Lord and a Stern Wild Fyre available.
    I'm still looking for an Andromeda, Star Light, Varkon, Frontier, Phantom of the Opera, Argosy, Title Fight, Class of 1812 or Joker Poker.

    mrgone - I just happened to come across this thread and I'm intrigued about the festival!!! Can you provide details? Where, when, etc??? Thanks!!

    #61 1 year ago

    This past year has gone by so darn fast! My Special Force which was a big hit at the 2022 show is still folded up in the same spot in the game room as it was the day it came home. Guess I'll just leave it folded up and ready to load for this years show. See you all in 95 days! Edit: I'm still in the hunt for a Williams Fire or Grand Lizard to restore so if you're coming to the show and have one to sell, hit me up!

    #62 1 year ago
    Quoted from AD72:

    Will return with Alvin G Soccer.

    Yes! I unfortunately didn't get a chance to play it. You were working on it at one point when I had time in between tech calls and the next time you were packing up. I'll be sure to get some time on it this year!

    This is a really great change. By allowing people to get a perk for bringing one game, I think you're going to see alot more people bringing games.

    I may have found an option for staying in the campground. When do reservations open up?

    #75 1 year ago

    Are pre-war games invited? I was going to bring some.

    Edit, I wasn't asking to try to gain free entry or perks. I don't think it's right to bring table top games and expect anything. I still hope to bring BK2K but my Comet is down and I don't know if it will be up in time for the show.

    Here is the official 2023 GSPF Pinball Glass Preorder instructions. Since we last purchased glass in 2020 there have been multiple notices from our suppliers about price increases. I cannot stress this enough the price on glass is going up. Add on the cost of shipping and the risk of breakage, buying glass at Golden State is a real deal.

    We use the same vendor as several major pinball factories, so this is high quality glass.

    There are several changes from last year. Please read closely.

    We had a lot of glass leftover from a show last year. The driver of our rig had to stop quick and we lost about a dozen sheets of glass due to breakage. Glass is heavy, fragile, and hard to move. Therefore we are only going to bring down glass that is preordered. You can pickup and pay for your glass at the Planetary Pinball Booth.

    The show price will be $45 for regular glass, $50 for widebody and $250 for HD glass. There will be a $5 discount per sheet for 2 or more sheets ordered. You can mix sizes to obtain the discount. We also have rare and unusual sizes available as well. Contact me for a quote for sizes not listed.

    For small orders no deposit is required. Glass is heavy so please order what you intend to pickup. For large orders we may require a small deposit just to confirm the order. We do not have any more of the old stock IPB glass.

    Please send your preorder requests and questions to [email protected] or via the pinside message system.

    Quoted from Pinbub:

    Are they table top games? I don't know if we'll have tables for them to top but let's talk via PM and see if we can set one up in the EM area

    Free Delivery on orders paid for and to be picked up at the 2023 Golden State Pinball Festival. Planetary Pinball Supply will bring your orders to the show. Order your items from our store. We have 1000's of parts in stock. Select GSPF shipping pickup on checkout and the shipping will be waived. We will then pull and bring your parts to the show.

    ATTENTION! Camp reservations will open Saturday Morning 3/18 at 10 am! Check back here for a link at that time!!

    IMPORTANT! Please read below for new changes!!

    While we still need full, non-refundable payment up front, starting this year and moving forward, we will move to a first come, first serve model for campsite assignments. There will be no assignment of specific spots ahead of time. Payment for your successful reservation only guarantees you a spot within the campground. As demand for Camp Silverball has grown, it has become harder for our all volunteer staff to manage the sheer number of requests and changes with the volume of campers we have. If you want to secure a specific spot, come earlier (we open the campground on the Thursday before the show at noon, no check-ins prior to this). If you want to ensure you are camped next to your friends, arrive together.

    We are also very excited to announce exclusive t-shirts for our Camp Silverball campers. Check out our cool 2023 Camp Silverball art by Jon Chad! Make sure you know what size shirts and how many you want before you sign up on Saturday, we will have small through 6XL available. This shirt is only for our campers and only available for preorder through camper registration. There will not be extras at the show if you want additional or changed your mind on the size.

    More info will be available when sign ups go live this saturday 3/18 at 10am!
