The 5th ANNUAL WHITE ROSE GAMEROOM SHOW

Well, another show has come and gone. There weren't as many flea market vendors and not as many games set up inside, but still a great show. There were all kinds of pins to play and purchase. Some games were broken, but that's pinball. Cyclone had a ball stuck on the ferris wheel, Bad Cats suffered an adjustment failure whatever that is, and while I played a Jackbot, the ball got stuck inside the visor and wouldn't shake loose.

Didn't win the Surf Champ that was given away at 2 pm on Saturday. Oh well, another that will remain on my "wanted" list.

I enjoyed playing Incredible Hulk, Monte Carlo, Hi Lo Ace, a pristine Firepower and lots of others. I can't believe the Hulk never broke down. Well, onto the pics.

Derby Day, $500 asking price. Nicer than mine, almost bought it, passed. Bally Rogo pin on the right, kinda rare. Superman was around $500 I think, working, according to the seller.	The Amazing Spider Man was sold by around lunch time. There was also a working one inside the show.
	Major League, a very rare pitch and bat. $200 was the asking price. I was so tempted to get this thing, just to see what it would do when I plugged it in. It was missing some parts, but maybe not enough to keep it from powering up and playing somewhat.

Stop And Go, sold later
Alpine Club, Williams, 196?, Not for sale
Jacks Open, also sold
Some videogame memorabilia	First we saw a Stop N Go, then this World Series I think it is.
Another Ms. Pac man. There were two working inside I think.	The guy in the black t-shirt is Wayne Namerow, webmeister of http://www.pinballmuseum.com . The guy in the white t-shirt is Harvey Weitzner, another 30's pin collector.
A lot of parts games. The prices weren't bad. From left to right, Apollo, Triple Action, $150, Silverball Mania, Circus, $150, (no backglass), Eight Ball Deluxe, $275 (blows fuses), Fireball Classic, $275? and a couple others to the left, I forget what. Some assorted parts: part of a Mr./Ms. Pacman head. I think there was a working Fireball Classic inside.	A very rare Chicago Coin "Foreign Legion" EM shooter game. I played one years ago. This is the same one that was leftover at last year's show. This year it sold. $300 I believe was the asking price and it didn't appear to be a parts game either.
A closer look at "Foreign Legion" The sun's reflection made it impossible for me to get shots through the glass. If it's like the Midway Shark Attack EM game I used to play, also featured in the classic film, "Jaws", you get 60 seconds to shoot the targets and if you score high enough, you get a replay. Does anybody know of a site for these EM gun games?	A hard to find Gottieb, "Big Casino" SOLD! $350 I think. This one was actually repainted. Fooled me. See the above link for what the original pattern looks like.
