And for those who stayed until the end (Sunday),
any new surprises at the Flea Market ?

Were there more vids since it was supposed to be "Arcade Sunday"  ?

Just curious...

Cheers,

-Yes went to scott's party.  Spent most of it talking to Ed Cheung (Beaver on RGP) and Todd MacCulloch, and a few others whose names I forgot  Clay was also there and answering tech questions    Scott and his wife are great hosts and he has a wonderful collection.  If you ever get a chance, do try to visit.

-TOTAN I saw as low as 1900.  Had lots of insert damage.  I have some detail photos I can post once I find a host.  Not worth it at 1900 IMHO.

-No demo man manuals.  I was looking for one myself.

-Games were in much better condition this year.  There were a few stinkers but the ratio for good playing games this year was much better.
Last year I would have said for 1 good game there were 3 decent and 5 bad.  This year the I felt the ratio was almost inverse.

The flea market as others have mentioned was not full of stuff probably due to the weather.  There was less 'one off' parts and bin diving but rather wood rails and complete 70's and early 80's pins.  There were some deals to be made fore sure.  A friend got a working whirlwind for $600.  Also there was two Cleopatra (one with missing BG) going asking 325 for the two.  Also saw a very nice Solar Ride for 300.  There were videos but not as many as last year.

-Saw lots of shadows and Demolition mans at the show.  and there was more wood rails then previous years.
Off  the top of my head for new-er pins.

Hey thanks

Been lurking for a bit, plus taking a break for a bit (checking out for a bit *grin*) but then you come back at it

I did pass on Allentown for a crack at Rochester but I don't think I'll be doing that again.  Allentown is just way more interesting and far friendlier in my opinion.

I'm with you. Allentown for me next year as well.

No comparison between Rochester and Allentown.

If you were in the market for a project pin, or even a nice complete plug and play working pin, A-Town was great! I could ( and should ) have bought about 3 titles. I personally felt Allentown was a very good show well worth it's reputation.

I think I need a bigger truck next year...

Ok, so what's all the hubbub about the "incedent" that happened on Saturday?  Would like to know who/what so we can avoid any potential situations at future events.

Pffft... you just like to gossip.

What "incident"?

Great to meet more of the MAACA masses both on Friday and Saturday. I enjoyed the show probably a little bit more than last year,

really good to put faces to the names. Saturday night at the Parlour didn't have the attendance of last year but still was a good diversion (the vid's and the newer DMD were the highlights but I wish that the owner of the Parlour would change the lighting upstairs as the glare was brutal .. and alot of the EM's weren't playable) .. how does one go about getting an invite to the private outing that some of you were at on Friday ?

Cheers
