Well Brigitte and I have arrived at the Holiday Inn Express across from Dorney Park ready to take in many hours of pinball! I figured I'd start up a thread so we can keep all who could not make it up to date on the goings on. I'll probably post up some pictures from tonight's adventure for which I will probably be leaving in roughly an hour.
All the usual suspects are in. Some good parts prices for certain if you hunt around. Mini tailgate party in the lot, now on to play some pin at a private collectors. See you all in the morning at the show.
Cooke had a few glitches with Fairy. Three hours later it was up and running properly and sold 5 mins after that for the asking.

Great event. I blew through $300 U.S. already and have a couple of little bags of stuff to show for it.
At least the border won't hassle me yet. It looks like about $30 of stuff to the untrained eye.
Yeah, it doesn't take very long to blow through signifigant amounts of coin. I've dropped probably $200 so far and really only have a couple of small pieces of metal to show for it. The caliber of machines here isn't as high as I was expecting, with a few noteable exceptions. Having a fun time all the same though.

I agree, a handful, and some outrageously expensive pins to show off high end detailing. When people start quoting you $6000 US for a FH as nice as it was.... I have a very short attention span.
A few machines purchased today (not by me). I won't steal anyones thunder but I thought the deals that the maaca guys went for were all the sensible ones. It seemed that most of the good stuff reasonably priced was snapped by our guys.
Show looked like it was loosing steam at the end of today for sure.
