Pinball Wizards Convention, 2K

Allentown, PA

Fri. May 5th - Sunday May. 7th, 2000

This year's show was better than last year. There were more games to play, and most importantly, MORE EM'S(electromechanicals). The deals were there, if you hung around long enough, inside and outside. I noticed that the EM pins with backglass and/or playfield animation, went quick. Like that's a surprise. I literally walked away from a Williams 1967, KickOff pin for about ten minutes so I could find the seller, came back, and the game was sold, doh! This was a cool pin. The backglass has an animated football grid. I think the asking price was about $425, but that wasn't firm, so somebody got a good deal.

I've provided links to the Internet Pinball Database wherever necessary to make up for the pics I didn't get at the show. The sweat from my hands kept making the camera slip, and besides, I came all the way from VA to play those pins!

This site is divided into two halves, flea market parking lot, and showroom. Give each page a couple of minutes to download. Enjoy!

The Outdoor Flea Market

Well, we made it!

Cousin Dave all ready to check out his first Pin show

Look by that Uhaul. It's a King of Diamonds, as seen in the movie, Tommy, Amazing Journey scene.

$1k as is unshopped was bit out of my budget, some wear on pf. Wonder what it ended up going for or did it?

Whoa! Check out that hard to find Cyclone pin. If only it hadn't been missing the bumper caps. Does anybody sell these used or repro? The mystery pin on the left is a rare Genco pin, Screwball.(Thanks Gene!)
Last year the Slick Chick for sale was inside.

Wonder how much this one went for.

I want one eventually. It's just not the same on Microsoft Pinball.

I'll take the booz barometer, though:)

Parts, anyone? Look closely at that b/w framed pic of a pinball factory? More details, anyone? Bueller, Bueller...................

And again, note the missing bumper caps on these older pins. How 'bout some REPROS!:)

Wow, $50. Looks like it's missing a few parts though. This one must have gone quick. I never even noticed it. (photo courtesy of Bruce Clark)

Hm. An old cigarette machine. Anybody, more info?

Atari Destroyers. Never heard of it. Year? Any good? Two classics!! Check out the red cab Space Invaders. Which version is this? The one I remember playing had a white cab.
