Once again - i miss it!

[Retropin]

Just had an email from good friend and avid collector in USA - Allentown is in a week and a half.
For those who dont know what Allentown is - its a sort of free for all market type pinball expo - many rare games and parts are on display and all are for sale.
Allentown is where you may well pick up that NOS Bally Bumper BG from 1936 youve been looking for for over 10 years, or maybe that playfield for your 50's GTB machine.
Allentown has EVERYTHING arcade and coin op...its on the very top of my wishlist of expos to visit.
 I promised myself id be there this year and im not going.... maybe next year.... sigh

Check out the "past shows" link here... reckon its the closest ill get to heaven!

We should take numbers for a group trip next year and order a container ready for all the bits and games we'd buy! Probably end up costing less than what we'd pay for the stuff here.

Have toyed with the idea of heading over to Expo (last year and this year) - have decided to sink my money into games instead

Wow, that show looks fantastic. You would need to be cashed up and have some way of getting gear home, though!
