I'll be bringing pinball spares with me on Sunday - bit of everything really.
Stern on/off mains switches @ £5 each.
Pinball legs. Have many so bring you spare odd ones and maybe sort a set?
Manuals, pop bumper caps, plastics, promos, leds plus other stuff. Happy to trade too.

Yes 4 ball, but everyone said they got through all the machines a lot quicker than expected. Everyone played in pairs. There are no bottlenecks in my layout so no waiting for people to end their game before you could get past. Not sure exactly how long it took, others will have to comment but I think most had finished by 5. Plus of course 22 players and 12 machines a good balance, not much waiting around for machines.
 
I think the 2 by 2 is a good approach. Great line up kev, i wish you weren't so far away. And being your games I suspect that they were all working nicely too.
 
Great games, Great lay out, cheers Kev.:thumbs: I have not seen so many, better than new machines like this. WOW. As a Newbie, the 2 by 2 set up worked well as someone else there with you to talk too, and watching a good game is nearly as good as playing,(well nearly). I was playing and seeing the games for the first time, so watching helped me with the learning curve:) Will have to get some practice time on these newer machines. Although I am not sure how my wrists will take it:( as I am still feeling them now LOL. How am I going to explain to the missus, that I need to exercise and build up my wrists for the next meet.:rofl:
