Quoted from Guidotorpedo:Put the year in the topic so folks can find this easier
^^^ What he said!
I’m on the lookout for back glasses for El Dorado, Jacks Open, Flight 2000, and Time Zone that might be better than what I currently have.
Also interested in a Flight 2000 playfield that has a better planet than mine.
Quoted from Schnecktronics:I’m bringing this for free play hopefully and some boxes of schematics, manuals, and a few plastic sets. The game will be clean by then, I already got it workin. Fixed a wire and she started right up.

For those of you who have never been to York, I solidly recommend it. It is not the same as Allentown. Freeplay will be 1/2 to 2/3rds the size of Allentown. There will be less distributor games, a distributor will likely be there with 10ish new games. York was the first place I played a Godzilla. Games will skew a little older with More EMs, but I'd guess it is 50% E.M.s, 20% pre DMD, 25% DMD, 5% LCD on the free play floor. There will be parts and flea market pins, but expect 75% the size of the flea market from Allentown with fewer new parts available (usually no Marcos). There is a tournament but I have never done it there (more involved than Allentown). Is it worth going to? Absolutely. York and Allentown are opposite sides of the year and I look forward to both. If you are only into LCD games, you'll be disapointed but if you go to pinball shows to try the 500ish pins you've never played its awesome.
Do you want York to be even better, bring a game! Seriously, throw one in the van and bring it on up. You get in for free and get to see others have fun on your machine. Not interested in selling? Fine! Maybe there is a game there you might want to trade for. Bring a Black Knight and go home with a Sorcerer. Want to buy your first pin? Bring a truck and a wad of cash. Deals pop up throughout the show. Picked up a Bad Cats half way through the show last year at $3700.
What York absolutely does better than Allentown is...free pop up events throughout the day. Best in show voting for pins. A free arcade contest, free kids pinball contest, free couples pinball contest.
Here is a random youtube walkthrough from last year.
I will be supporting the show, same space for the last couple of years. Will some how have a full trailer by then with new inventory.
There are many great restaurants a couple miles away. Both national chains and local places.
Quoted from poppapin:No farmers market, so where to eat?
Quoted from tomdrum:I think Rich's phone number has a few too many digits.
In an attempt to cut down on the number of telemarketer calls I get on that number (typically twenty a day), there is indeed an extra number hidden. You only find it when you cut and paste from the page. The visible number is correct.
Also to those emailing me, I am getting the emails but there is an issue with outbound emails to Google addresses going on with the hosting company.

Shay sells the repro El Dorado glass. Jeff Moorehead is now bringing them to shows. Call Steve at Mayfair for the rest, he'll be there.
Let me know if you want to promote your show. I will delete if so. We will be there in flea market. I’m giving up my tradition of the fall OC, MD cruisin’ for the love of pinball.

Thank you
There are a lot less Team Ones now, Wizard conversions thinned the herd. L
Quoted from poppapin:No farmers market, so where to eat?
Plenty of places to eat. I highly recommend this show to anyone who is primarily interested in EM pins.

Agreed there's plenty of places, but hoping someone had a hidden gem. Love the vibe of York!

After the show, maybe consider heading into town and get a bite to eat at the Fig and Barrel pub. https://figandbarrel.com/ Its a favorite for my wife and I, and its nearly across the street from Timelime Arcade. We like to sit outside and watch the evening "loop cruiser" chaos unfold on Market Street.
Timeline has recently added a fleet of modern LCD games to their lineup in addition to the multitude of standup vids. Timeline is open until 2AM on the weekends, and there are several tap rooms within a block or two of there if that is your game.
If you want nicer Italian, Tutoni's.
Tap rooms downtown:
Mudhook
Holy Hound
Gift Horse
Collusion
Liquid Hero
Can't really go wrong with any of them, and you can walk to all of them if you park downtown or uber over from your hotel.

I’ll add one more to your list if you don’t mind. Lovedrafts Unplugged is between Gift Horse and Liquid Hero. Maybe a little younger crowd than the others listed but most of their beer is great and I think their gin is solid. Fantastic tater tots and other artery clogging goodies. Live music with a wide variety of genres and a macabre theme bar layout with free play mini consoles and yes, even a pinball machine (TWD).
PS: Parking is free in all the York downtown garages on weekends and after 6:30 on weekdays. Don’t listen to the robot voice telling you to prepay. If the exit gate is up, you are good to go!
Looking for an original instruction card for Gottlieb Capt. Card and the small checkered plastic for Gottlieb Spin Out. Willing to buy a “project” machine if need be. Thanks!

Just FYI, the show's email address still can't send to GMAIL addresses. Seems Google added a security measure to cut down SPAM and needs a DNS entry made for the show at the hosting company. I had hoped it would be a quick and easy resolution for the problem but it hasn't been. So if you have registered and have a GMAIL address, I have likely received it and have you registered but can't let you know.
If anyone has any Stern Electronics pins, I’d be interested.
Also looking for the following:
Corvette
Radical
Funhouse
Safecracker
Theatre of Magic

I'm looking for a Swords of Fury. Send me a note.

Ended up doing a partial trade deal so Special Forces, Cybernaut & Road Kings are gone but “red” Jungle Lord & Cue Ball Wizard are still available and now along with a DE Time Machine & a sample CV! Since we are now 3 months out from the show, if you are interested in any of those 4 remaining pins, let me know as only 2 fold down head games can fit in the SUV so I’d like to lock in games sales early as I really want bring a lot of parts to the show this year!!!
