It was great to meet you and play those incredible machines in the Vector booth. (There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh paint and varnish when you're playing a 50-year-old machine!) Thanks so much for your patience in answering all my questions, and for sharing your knowledge. I'll be bothering you in a few months with lots more questions!
Quoted from Captive_Ball:I confirm, BFK's statement is true.

Quoted from 85vett:Yes... I'll say it. This got under my skin real bad. I spent countless hours restoring a game for everyone to enjoy and to see how it would stack up with the judges. Was thrilled it sold early on but every time I walked by it and it was turned off (not broken) it hurt. Hurt more when I found out it couldn't be judged to for reasons I don't feel the need to share in a forum right now.
Needles to say the new owners took something away from me that I can't get back. That's the pride of seeing people enjoy the fruits if my labor.
Other than that it was another outstanding TPF.
That's horseshit, brother. I'm sorry that happened to you. What machine was it? I'd be happy to tell you how awesome it was (I'm a big fan of restorations!).
Because it's so much work to put together, and it's something I would never dream of doing, I don't criticize the little things. 
I think TPF was as close to perfect as a show gets...but we'll see what Pintastic has in store this year. It was pretty damn perfect as well last year! 
Quoted from Rensh:So returned today to the Netherlands after a great TPF (first time visit, only like 24 hr travel 1way...)
Having organized twice Dutch Pinball Open DPO expo (approx 160-170 pinballs and around 165 tournament players) I know what it takes off personal effort to organize a show like this. Respect respect for all the work put into it.
Everything appeared to run smoothly and saw a lot of people having a good time and that's what drives the volunteers. Take good care of them !!
And yes there will always be criticized. Listen to it and don't go direct in defensive positions (which is very difficult I know from personal experience). There is always something which can be improved but keep it workable and again, take good care of the volunteers !
So, congratulations to everybody envolved for a job well done !!
It was great to meet you, and hope to cross paths with you again someday!
