Joe Newhart regularly attends the York and Allentown shows.

Now his son Patrick is hooked too!

The Pinball Lifter was at the show as well.

Save your back and buy one of these!

By the middle of the day, they were sold out!  

Bruce Moyer from Rochester is for sale.  I thought about listing myself on Ebay, but the reserve would be too darn high;)

I met John Gray of Gray's Memorabilia at this show. John has been in business for several years offering neon signs, automobilia (learned a new word), soda shoppe items, gameroom lights, brewery advertising, and you never know what else.

It's no secret I'm warped and I love records so this was right up my alley.  John had these records by Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and a whole case in the trailer. I bought almost everything he had.  I came back home with a very big box, which is still sitting in my basement.  I think these will look really cool on the walls as you head down the steps to the basement.  My Seeburg USC-1, which I picked up at York a few years ago is down there, along with about half my pins, some other misc. coin op stuff, and piles of 45's, 78's, and LP's which I have saved from the garbage and from thrift shop raids over the years.

The where the heck did this come from award goes to.....   I swear, seems like almost every show there's that one game I was dying to see, but one guy was meeting another guy to move a game from one truck to another, and it was never set up. 

"The West Virginia Pinball Player's Club" always brings some of the most interesting items for the flea market, both for Allentown and this show as well.

The Lost World playfield on the right would have been an excellent candidate for anyone with good touchup skills.  The Lost World pin I used to own worked great, BUT some genius did a touchup job that you could say was quite noticeable.  The wear spot is always in the area shown, at least that's what I've seen.  This pin was popular on location, and when the ball starts getting scratches all over it, you basically have high speed sandpaper.  New pinballs are always a must on that parts list when at any show.  Buy several and avoid those rising shipping costs.

In additon to the Lost World playfield, Dennis Chaney had several other items. I bought and later sold a Twilight Zone translite, an Elvira Scared Stiff translite, an NOS SS plastic sling, a Dragon's Lair II laserdisc, a Santa Claus Christmas pinball tree ornament, and some other stuff of which I cannot recall. True story:  The winner on Ebay for the Santa Claus ornament was the daughter of one of the vendors at this very show! So, for Christmas, he got this ornament which he didn't even know was right outside the door! The rest of this stuff shipped out to small towns all over the USA and other countries as well.  I kept a couple oddball diner retro signs from this cool stash which are now on the kitchen walls in my house.
