    Folks,

    I am wondering if there is any kind of meetings, fairs and gatherings of Pinball enthusiasts where one can find parts, playfields, complete machines in North Carolina or neighboring states.

    I have heard of such events taking place in Pennsylvania and California and I was wondering if there is anything similar in the South Eastern part of the United States. I know that Greensboro used to have four times a year, auctions for vending machines but I am looking more for something resembling a flea market where you could browse and search for specific parts or even old machines.

    I would appreciate any pointers. I thank you in advance.

    I think you're SOL... I'm not aware of anything like that in the Carolinas... your best bet is the York and Allentown shows (if they ever get scheduled again)! What in particular are you looking for?

    I am looking for all kinds of small parts:

    - Original Bally stay-up bar (to lift the playfield)
    - Bally early Solid State (1977-81) coin box
    - Gottlieb late EM coin box

    and many other things that I do not need right now, but may need in the future....

    Marco is in your neck of the woods: Lexington, S.C. It never hurts to ask them about any parts you may need.
