I'll be there!! I plan on heading out Wednesday afternoon/evening, getting a good nights sleep and getting up bright and early Thursday morning to go and check out the Kane County Show with MCarter. I faired pretty well there last year. I eneded up picking up two Seeburg Teardrop Speakers in outstanding condition for a very fair price.

Then I plan on being up at the crack of dawn (5:30 am) to check out the parking lot pre-sale at the "Big Show". Last year I left with a Seeburg 147 "Trashcan", two W-56 Wall boxes and a Van Camps Hot Food Vending Machine. I will be leaving sometime in the late morning/afternoon of Friday to make the drive back home.

I lucked out this year and ended up getting a room at Pheasant Run. Last year I stayed about 8 miles down the street at a Best Western.

I'll take a lot of pictures at both shows and post them. Hopefully I'll be able to post the Kane County pic's on Thursday night and give everybody an update.

Hey Matt, mind towing a U-haul trailer??  '<img'>

I went this morning also and thought the same thing.  There were very few vendors, I was there about 20 minutes...  I've heard good things about this show, but I see no reason to attend again.

Who was it that got that Pepsi cooler (Heintz) for
a $100 a couple years ago? That was a sweet deal... I passed it a dozen
times, it had no tag so I thought it would be high! That was a steal!
Even took pictures of it.....

That was mine and MCarter's friend Harrison. Yeah, that was a steal!

Welp, all three of us just got done with the Kane County Show. Not quite as good as last Fall's show but it was ok. The weather is way warmer and that makes it more enjoyable to walk around.

I picked up a few things...A "Wise Owl" Napkin Dispenser, A 1 Cent Coin Box/Coin Mech and a part for my J.F. Frantz/ABT US Marshal Gun Game.

Hopefully the show tomorrow will be better than last year!! 5:30 comes early but I'm ready to go!!

We must have walked right by each other! (Several times)
I was out there for hours... So much stuff and I didn't buy a thing
till the show...
I remember the weather was good that year too....
What ever happened to the cooler?... You guys restore it?....
Post pic please... So I can get good and depressed that I didn't go..
Especially if a Quikold shows up!  '<img'>

Hello Brian

If you don't mind me asking howe much did you pay for your Wise Owl.

I have seen them come up on Ebay a few times and have fancied one.
