Hello Guys,
I would love a expo, and being involve with NAMOA ( national amusement machines assoc aust) they are a national industry body and struggle to get a event off the ground.
They did a melb one last year and most interstate operators didnt show.
AMD didnt even bring a new pinball to the show.
When LAI did expos our budget was huge and we never made a profit, but all the suppliers sent product to be dispalyed.
we really only have stern now days, and im sure they wont pay for it.. they currently dont go to the expo in chicago. All sterns for the comps are paid for in advance.
PSPA would be happy to be involved, but knowing the bitchyness of the pinball industry, if we went others wouldnt.
I personally have tried to offer all forums our discount on new sterns and was told flatly that those forums did not want their members to buy them.
we are here for pinball..
damien
