Title: Chicagoland Show: What did everyone get? Post by: dr galaga on November 10, 2012, 09:20:40 pm So, what did everyone end up getting?
I ended up not getting anything from the show (except the Fun-Tronics t-shirt). I was debating about a couple beer signs and clocks, but I ended up passing on them. I didn't come home empty handed, though. I picked up my Space Invaders Deluxe monitor that I got repaired. My buddy Pat over at Star Worlds Arcade was able to get me a set of the very limited edition Atari Hot Wheels. On the way home I stopped at Fry's and picked up a couple LED electronic kits. This was the first time I was ever at Fry's. Wow, they do have everything there! Title: Re: Chicagoland Show: What did everyone get?

Post by: kbareit on November 11, 2012, 04:33:52 pm Just got home from the show and unloaded the Cav 72 I got off of Slider Bob and was headed to the garage with it so I could clean it up and rewire the area's that need it and was stopped by the Mrs. She insisted it go straight into the house. The pic shows the 72 and a Rt 66 lighted menu sign. (not vintage but the Mrs. wanted it) It was nice to meet a few some of the members here. And I have to thank Bob and Leonard for fending off the people trying to buy my 72 while waiting for me to pick it up.

A puck bowling machine 2.A pinball machine 3. A 60's era juke box and 4 You might like this one, a table version Galaga machine. Not to mention the signs and lights she wants.
