Hey all. I was planning on going to the Chicago show this fall (as I was going to go to the spring show but some here told me the Fall show is the better one) I was wondering, because it is a 8.5 hr drive for me, and the cost of a trailer rental, gas, time, and a frustrated wife, how many original machines would you all say are available from the Friday outside sale? And when I mean how many machines, I mean only the roundtops, not any of the square machines. My nightmare is to drive 17hrs there and back, to look at slot machines and advertising signs. Unless anyone here can tell me of a great show to go to on the east coast that I'm not aware of?!? Thanks all!  |

Each year differs... there was a time you'd see a trailer loaded with 44s!.. Loaded!... then there are years you might see 25 out side.... check the photo album of the past show to get an idea of what you'll see...
Anymore with the economy and personal funds my wife and I go just to get away... I get to see some good friends and if I
stumble onto a cooler, sign or even a crate of bottles it's a plus....
It's about a 6 hour drive one way for me I know others that it's double one way...
I do know I went 4 years straight and the year I skipped 3 Quikold coolers were there!...
I will be there in November... Hope you can show up and can make the Thursday night dinner.

THanks all to those who have replied!!!
See, that's the problem I face with all these shows.
As being from Canada, the closest show for me is about 6 hrs min. I have a tough time taking time off work, so the only time I can really go is leave Friday night, to be there for a Sat. morning looksie.
By the time I get there for a Sat. show, that starts on a wed for all the goodies, then all the goodies are gone for me, and all I'll be left with is a bunch of 70's machines that are of no interest to me.
Sigh
