Well the show has just started, and there’s a good UK contingent: so far I have bumped in to @Neil McRae and @AlanJ plus their very friendly other halves, David Blake, and Martin Ayub.

There are lots of machines to play - a far better selection than Expo.

That includes TNA

and a Spinal Tap

as well as the Kosmic Chaos

The Dmd was playing 50s style graphics, but the play field was covered by a printed sheet. Can’t tell what was underneath...

Also there a Baywatch with a colour screen (and it does support Chad’s 4.01 code):

JJP is doing a talk where he promised that POTC would be ready by the summer if not sooner.

We will have to sort out a Pinball Info assault on our Yank cousins one year.
 
TNA is hard to figure out the rules but Bowen is doing a live tutorial later. But it is fast and fun and really really different to anything else. I like it a lot.

Also spotted a Kingpin which is being remade by the Circus Maximus lot.

This one has been built using old parts but running off PROC

There was a swap meet at the crack of Dawn

1C4A0858-8C0C-4C9F-9742-B6BFB532807D.jpeg

where various locals were flogging lots of old games like a trashed Totan for $300, plus old boards and other junk

Meanwhile inside the weirdest thing so far is a Tikki pinball machine made almost entrily from wood, with wooden score reels

Also had a go on Rob Zombie which was surprisingly good but the parts look like a prototype machine. There is something about it and AMH which just doesn’t look right. Also it is a very rude machine that is constantly effing and jeffing. Not suitable to be played by vicars.

And there was a very cool physical pong machine

Hey Paul, if you see a TAF mansion overlay or insert decals gimme a shout mate, I’m in the market for a set........
Oh and keep the pics coming. :thumbs:
 
No mansion decals but sets of TAF plastics, bookcase bases,frames etc. Also wh2o plastics, roadshow plastics, lots of Shadow parts like rings and mongols. Even Taf cloud toppers but too big to bring back
 
They went PROC and binned the Ben heck stuff
