Must be some new Expo patrons helping!

Obviously the result of the interest sparked by the Expo, and the "good words" of you guys that were there.

As for as the Hobby is concerned, we could not have hoped or a better result.

You would expect an influx of new members over the next week or so. Were many flyers handed-out/picked-up?

I printed up 150 color and 130 B/W. I think Tony did print more.

well maybe later we will have a new record.

surely something will create some new and exciting reason to come to AP

as if there isn't enough good information and good people here already to bring them.

We have had a few great milestones along the way.

For me - The best part has been the number of VERY talented Pinball people sharing their ideas and techniques. The willingness to share the experience and the number of newbies embracing the idea that they are able to achieve similar results.

Pinball was always meant to be fun, and the people that own them share the same passion.

I spoke to a few new pinball blokes at the Expo that as they said where "reliving there childhood" and laughed-I said go for it as I've never grown up and don't plan on growing up, being a big kid is to much fun..Anyway I told them about this site and they wrote it down so hopefully they have jumped on..

I just hope they got a good reliable machine 1st time around.

A great achievment for the boys

But also a great achievement for the members who have all contributed to the site

We have proved that pinball people can work together and have fun and help one another.

Well done to all  @@* @@* @@*

I didn't see any others apart from the ones I picked up, but Tony may have slipped them on to the stall when I wasn't looking.

All the colour ones were handed out and there might be 30 or so B&W ones left.

 #*# Great result everyone.
The last of the colour flyers went after the auction on the Sunday. There were too,a lot of questions about pinballs (a lot asked how much would it cost to join the forum). One lady asked me what the  pinballs were worth & what type of machines to buy -so I explained the eras of pinballs & how much they generally cost -She left the Expo with her family and a BRONCO  @@* and of course a Aussie Pinball Flyer.

Now that's interesting - so the Bronco was sold prior to the auction?
