I am going next year

[Mr Pinbologist]

I noticed no one answered my question. Who is making the trip next year 

Will be doing my best to be there again  I'm looking at bringing one of my restored games along, i'd just have to decide which one

Very pleased with the book. Great job  Thanks for posting 

I'm looking at bringing a few games. I might have a poll and let members decide which game I should restore especially for the show. Will be an SS or EM. Ideally, I'd like to haul a few games for the kids (big and small) to enjoy. Just love the look on kid's faces when they play a machine for the first time !

The program looks great, good info for outsiders looking to buy, and a little history

thats Ian's game not mine    but you never know.. he might decide to bring it if i can get it done for him, he's getting keen for it  
I was requested my Marco Rossignoli ( i think thats how its spelt!!) at pinfest to bring Roller Disco to the next one   Maybe.. its one of my better restores of my own games.

Good stuff Greg now how do I buy a hard copy of the book?

As far as I am aware the book was long gone by the second day.....just print one from the excellent pics uploaded above....FWIW only a few were actually printed in full colour with most having colour covers only and the rest of the booklet B&W so you are probably better off printing your own anyway?

A couple of the stats updated of the number of games over the 19 hours of public opening and comp night:


Fishtales = 517 plays (average 27 games per hour)
Bally Playboy = 505 plays (average 27 games per hour)
Powerplay = 486 (average 26 games per hour)
Black Pyramid = 450 (24 games per hour)Diner = 432 plays (average of 23 plays per hour)
Roadshow = 249 plays (average of 13 games per hour) - had a few issues on the Saturday

Would seem that most pinball games lasted around the 2 minute mark... not long is it?

Gav that's how the ops made their money from Joe Public.
