Was really happy with the way the games stood up (they didn't the week leading into the meet).

Here is Mick2 adjusting a loose flipper on World Fair from 1964

Great photos from everyone, and a great turnout for the meet.

Yes, we are all slightly jealous!

What a day/night, I just spent an hour looking at the entire thread and loved it. Great stuff Tony. I heard that WIN TV reported late breaking news of the harbour bridge openning last night. They're pretty switched on I hear up there  %.%
Still loving my Metallica Premium

A belated thanks to Tony. This was the first meet I've been to, and was fabulous. To see the faces of the names, to have spend hours playing classic pins and talking to fellow enthusiasts, to have eaten pizzas like they should be and to see a wonderful, supportive family - Tony, Penny, Amber, Josh and Tony's dad Ron - all working together made a perfect afternoon/evening.
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

You meet the very best people by going to events such as this. I reckon my love for the meets comes a very close second to my love for pins.  *%*

Exactly Greg,

I feel the same...it's getting together with a bunch of really cool people.....the pins come a distant second for me
