Keycon which is one of Winnipeg's science fiction conventions has for the last couple of years has had a pinball room setup .
One of our local fans is an afficnado of all things pinball and he knows people in the business.
Utterly fantastic setup every year.

It is addicting....in fact it's time to go unload the 1976 Playmatic Fandango I picked up on the cheap last evening. Playmatic is a long gone Spanish company that made some really nice games for the time. Way better quality then the NA companies like Bally, Gottlieb, Stern, were making.

I found some of the history interesting about arcades and gambling lol.

Are these gigs like gun shows where some buy/sell goes on, or more show stuff/talk pinball shop?

I'm planning on making it this year. How did that switch workout for you. I think it was a switch I sent you or something like that.

These pics are from my garage tgat I converted to a mancave. Wood stove, heated tile floor, its my retreat. I have 4 set up in the back room of the house and a few folded up in a shed.

Lots of part selling, but like anything else, online markets have taken away a lot of that.
This is the first time it's 2 days and camping so hopefully Lots of social this year.

It worked great, thank you for that.
If you go to Marcos website you have to buy the whole "shifter" for the DE Star Wars. It was my buddy who said it does come apart and it's just a strandard cherry switch inside. Saved $$$$$$
