Weather.com says 70s in Dixon Thursday through Friday!

Big thanks to Blownfuse for hooking me up with a couple of replacement slingshot rubbers, WCS will play all the better for it. Good seeing you for a brief minute today buddy!

Here's my Uncles Shelby Cobra I was telling you about. My mom said he built it himself from a kit.

PracticalSteve,

What's the best way to find the badges on Saturday? I was gonna stay the whole weekend but some medical changes caused schedule changes to go with it (grr). At this point just planning a Saturday visit.

I have a long way to go before mine looks like that.

Going to make a big post giving all the details either tonight or tomorrow.

even in that condition it's still sweet! is it a factory five? I know it's blasphemous but an all carbon skinned body with a 2jzge from a supra would be sweet.

Can any vendor going to PaGG comment on if they will be selling playfield glass this year? Usually BAA brings it but since they arent coming im in need of at least a couple sheets.

Anyone need anything hauled from Portland to PAGG and back? Stopping both ways, hit me up with a little gas money and I'll take them down and back for u.

Adam, check with Don's Custom Service (vendor page of the pinagogo.org site) as I understand he may be bringing a variety of parts.

What else is up there ronnie? Lol

A Hotdoggin and another Devils Dare that I'm grabbing.

Sorry I was to late in the reply. If it's a pain don't worry about it. If you need a beer or two or three I'll have plenty to share

No worries! Honestly!

And for anyone, if I spelled your name wrong please feel free to just fill out a blank one and toss the incorrect one.

Ok- bear with me all for two big posts.

ID BADGES

The fine folks at NIFTY LED have volunteered to be keepers of the ID badges this year. Stop by their booth, they will either be under the table or on the table if they have room. They will be available from the very start of the show on Friday (or close to it depending on where I am in line.)

You can still reserve one, just ask before wednesday, after that fill one out from the blank box.

DONT TAKE THE PENS! you cant use any old pen to write on these!

I am sure you are sick of hearing about the posters so this is the last post about them. All posters on thick 14pt gloss paper.

SPIRIT POSTERS
I decided to price these at 10$ I want anyone that wants one not to be able to. 4$ of every poster will be directly donated to PAGG. Designer of the game John Trudeau will be there, get it signed! Pictures from my iphone dont do them justice.

SCHEMATIC POSTERS
A little higher at 15$ each, or all three for 40$. Five dollars from every poster in this group to be donated directly to PAGG. Any One looks great on its own, but all three tie together so nicely.

HOW TO GET ONE
These will be available at the Swap Meet that starts at 10am saturday morning. I will be there until 12pm so I can hit up Sparkys BBQ. You can also text or call me at anytime on Friday or Saturday and I will hook you up. (510) 774-0572. I will not be there on Sunday, but if you really want one something can be arranged. Shoot me a PM.

SWAP MEET BONUS
I have a pile of random posters saved from the recycling bin over the last year. These are NOT for sale on their own. You may take one FREE with the purchase of any of the pinball posters. A free one for each you buy, so buy four posters, take four free ones! These are super nice. The Breaking Bad poster with all the characters for size scale is 24x36 on very nice quality paper. Again FREE with any purchase but ONLY at the swap meet, thats the only time I will drag them out.

Also forgot to mention. If you brought one of the Spirits that was in the line up last year, your poster is free. Thanks for doing that, was totally the highlight of the show for me.

That's cool but I still want to pay for mine. Thanks for making the posters for everyone to enjoy. I'm getting a huge kick out of everyone liking the Spirit line up last year, it's too bad that John Trudeau wasn't there to get a pic of him standing in front of them. I'm sure it would've brought back memories.

Steve

Can I get a Pinside ID badge for PAGG? or are they only for important people and the cool kids? please let me know. Thanks

I stand by my "current regime" posting 100%. Those of you who know Tracelifter can ask him. Those who don't, can PM me if you would like . Or ,better yet, contact PinMolly. Even though she is off of Pinside again, most of you know how to contact her through her site. She dislikes me because of my disagreement regarding the posts here that Bowen despises as well as how I mock him. However, she knows Tracelifter very well and why he no longer supports Pin A Go Go. She will confirm this.

I would also like a badge if I am not to late.

Getting excited, Pin-Pimp and I will be loading up tomorrow, probably be heading out Wednesday. Ronnie, Brich don't let me forget to bring some tools, text me Tuesday evening to remind me.

The spirit line was amazing. Hands down it was the place I spent the most time right behind the RV area. Haha.

Cold day in hell before I take your money sir

You will certainly be cooler for having one, done.

Not too late, done.

On it.

It's cool to see you out of state guys making the trek to PAGG.

Only 12 hours... haha We all went to the NW show last year and while it was lots of fun, it left lots to be desired if you bring a lot of pins. Looking at the thread for that show, it seems that they have lots of improvements on that front, which is great. I can't make it to that show this year and obviously I can't not go to a pinball show so we decided on PAGG.

LOL, I can't even give my money away, just checked, it looks real and doesn't smell bad.

Steve

I must say, Im really excited for PAGG.. This will be my first one. Cant wait to meet some of you guys and gals. Everyone on here seems so nice and helpful. Im bringing my 17 yr old son whos really getting into pinball and like to help me with the restores. Should be great. Cheers to all
D-

Hey Steve, haven't followed this thread too closely but if you have some extra posters, the PAGG raffle could always use some more prizes.

I think he mentioned to me today that he planned to do that.

Steve

Hey, I'm only 18

LOL, I got ya by 40 Ronnie. <<<<< me falling asleep at the drop of a hat.

Steve

Getting my first system 80 on the way back from PAGG, Devil's Dare. Works great other than an intermittent voice, the rest of the sounds work great. Any suggestions? Heard you were the man when it comes to Gottlieb sys. 80

If all goes according to plan there will be a special one off larger sized spirit posted with different artwork for the raffle. Set of schematics posters also going to raffle. Also donating posters as prizes for the pingolf tournament.

44 here, but act more like 12ish

Nice! Good stuff, Steve!

Alright, new blood! I always have to rebuild the A2 power supply board, they're prone to having solder cracks around the header pins and re-crimp any connectors where needed. It sounds like the connectors are possible place where you're losing the voice calls, they're all on the sound 16 line on DD. I have to find some time to chase down that same problem on my DD.

Steve

Did I pee in someone's Cheerios?

Ronnie, I still cant believe that we both scored devil's dares in portland at the same time. What are the odds?

These threads are starting to get crazy, my heart is starting to pump a little extra than normal.

3 games soldiered up and ready to go. Only one I need work on still and another that my buddy is finishing a playfield swap on as we speak. The other is staying up to be played at home until thursday.

I feel like I have things under control finally.

Exact opposite of me haha. I feel like I have tons to do and no time to fix anything.

Way to start vacation week off with a bang. Another 16 hour shift down. I am all in lockdown for a loadup at someone's place I have never met Thursday. Can't make it out to the bay. But if anyone needs help this week let me know. Adam/Eric If you need some help soldiering up some pins WED let me know. I am totally free

PracticalSteve: I'd love a badge if it's not too late. I'll definitely be there on Friday night, and possibly on Saturday morning (but Saturday conflicts with family plans for the Maker Faire.)

Not here to start any drama. Since another post of mine was cited here and subsequently dismissed, I thought I'd set the record straight. I actually planned to come to PAGG this year but then realized it is held the same days as the VFW Showcase which I have to work to maintain my membership.

I'm sure your show will be fine.

I'd love a badge also!!! Can't wait!!!!!

We're loading 9 Wednesday night if you want to help. We'll even feed you

Oh my god no! I really hope I didn't offend. I have become friendly with the Nifty guys and they offered to help and it was just easier to take them up on it then ask you.

Plus I actually was going to ask your help with something else, but wanted to think it through first, sending you a PM.

Again, I really didn't mean to, and hope I did not offend.

Got you both down for badges.

yay..We can all tell how much I love food. Text me the low down
