Just curious how many of you are going as well as what to expect. I havent been to a pinball show and I am looking forward to it. I feel like no one is mentioning it either and it is is coming up fast. I would think there would be more talk. Anyway, are these things also like swap meets where you can buy and sell crap? A good place to find project pins maybe?
 
I will be there Friday and Saturday. If its like the show I went to a few years ago expect lots of activity on Friday and Saturday. Sunday typically is the day everything starts to wind down. There will be a lot of vendors selling stuff and last time I was there a tournament was run (You had to pay to enter).
 
I will be there all day Saturday, along with 3-6 of my pinball enthusiast friends.

There is a large main hall filled with 100-150 pinball machines on free play, 20-30 vendor tables with tons of new parts, and then the flea-market style lots outside with mostly used parts and a lot of games for sale, mostly older games, some nonworking projects, lots of stuff. Usually some Tournament action as well. Pinball heaven, really.

Never can tell what you'll find there - could be anything. Bring a pocketful of cash.

It is possible to make a deal on something before the show and have the person bring the game and meet up there.

You can post a WTB at Allentown on RGP, and there is also a spreadsheet hosted on the web with parts and games Wanted and FS.

I'll be there Saturday... Planned on picking up my first pin there, but found it ahead of time. I can't wait. I've have vids for 5 years, but the pin is getting played non-stop.
 
Yeap I'll definitely be there on Friday and maybe Saturday. I might be bringing a pin too. Escape from the lost World. I'm seriously contemplating selling it there but still not 100% on it. Looking to upgrade.
