Well i got free reign of all the pins at 8.30am - only one not working - Centaur... which actually was the one i wanted to play most.

There was not a pin that didnt get constant use throughout the whole day - honestly.. as one player finished - another took their place. Those machines were running hot.

As i walked round i smelt one burnt transistor from a locked on coil. Most machines if you had been there at the end of sat night had tickets on them stating - out of credits. The techs could not get to the machines due to the amount of people present.
 Centaur kept blowing solenoid fuse - not enough time to fix it despite a new coil being put in place - only machine to not work at all.

Lack of air flow - my fault... i had the side door right next to me and i deliberately had it shut to stop the bloody wind blowing all my stuff about and to prevent non payers from entering.
 Stale air - Wottos fart.
 Commercial guys were invited but had to contribute to set up costs - this was declined.
 Did Expo make a profit?? I doubt it but i dont know
 Did i?? No friggin way..... but theres a year ahead yet and from the interest ive had POST Expo - it will pay itself and then more.

 Within 2 hours of expo being open i asked Rian if next year meant a bigger venue - the answer was a definate YES!

Expo is here to stay.. have been talking to Michael this morning... and ill be on my stall next year and it will be full of merchandise

Excellent feedback Gavin and I'm sure you will be busy with "Expo sourced" orders .
