Pinball expo in Chicago, never gone, what's it about?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

Hi:
New (well, fairly new) to the pinball repair/resto stuff and was curious
what the Pinball Expo in Chicago was about. I go to the Jukebox conventions
occasonially and was thinking along the same lines. I would like to pick up
some parts for my 8 Ball & Strikes and Spares. I see it's on Nov 17 - 20th,
what's the best day(s) to go? Cost?

Thanks for any input...

It is the most "intimate" show there is. Nowhere else can you walk
through a pinball factory and attend seminars by numerous industry
insiders. If that sounds cool to you then go.

If you can possibly afford it, spring for the entire package. If you
don't, you may be left waiting to do something.

Everyone should attend at least one Expo!

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball?hl=en Look up old
posts for link to the website, past Expo's, why the dates were changed just
for this year, what you can all see there. Four days of fun, you get Expo,
Stern Tour, seminars, fireside chats, meet famous people, see the Stern
display, lots of games to play, games and parts etc. for sale, pinbrawl. You
won't be disappointed. LTG

Go!

Great fun! Great people! The Stern Factory tour blew me away as I never
knew that there is almost zero automation in making a pinball.

The lectures were fun! Got to buy some great tools and a couple of coin
doors.

Pinball 24x7!

I'm trying as hard as I can to make it again this year. The change of
dates through another ball in to juggle, but I'm still juggling and
haven't dropped one yet.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers
