Sounds like a great time Larry (and great pizza as well). Is Istram a misprint for Ltransam? It looks like Leonard, but I thought Bob said he was in the hospital. If so, glad he was able to make it. I'm going to have to make it sometime just so I can hang with you guys and see your games

Leonard was doing better then Bob's transmission!!!

Yes it was a misprint.  I fixed it.  Leonard looked good.  As you can see he was well enough to eat in the picture.  I'm curious as to what was the coolest thing that people found.  I heard that our founder Jim found a Stoner Gum machine in the original box.

A lot of great machines in those pics. Keep the pics coming

I was really lax in taking pics, next year I'll bring my SLR and get a bunch. 

I only had my iPhone, and cell phone battery life was precious so I only got a pic of Slider-Bob and a couple of other folks unloading Brian's trailer around 4:30 am on Friday.  The scene was really eerie.  As soon as the ramp came down, people started coming out of the darkness with flashlights and pawing through everything.  It was like a scene from a zombie movie, instead of braaaaiinnnss   it was sliiiiiiiiderrrrrsss.   


I also got a pic of the working Miller 45B parking meter I picked up.  12 minutes for a penny, or an hour for a nickel!

What a great time I'm having here. It was nice to meet all of you. A big thanks to Brian for offering to deliver me my purchases. I'm still here and just finished walking the floor again in search of anything I might have missed. Found some other cool items but nothing I had to have. Here's a pic of a fresh hot nut machine I picked up. Unfortunately no Mill's 45 but still some great finds.

I ve seen one of these locally- asking $750....is that reasonable for this machine? I've never seen one in person...just eBay or Craigslist.

[sc1101]

From what I've seen that is around the going rate. It does add more value if it has a base and the cup holder. There's one on ebay right now for 860.00 with 5 days to go. I also saw a double one with no lighted sign, cup holder or base sell for 550.00 here at the show. It is a neat machine with the blinking light it really stand's out.

I have one of those Ajax vendors, with cup holder. They look lovely all lit up. The coin mechs are reversible so you can have 5 or 10 cents or a mixture of both.
