One of the great things about Pintastic NE is running into machines that you can’t see elsewhere. This Jaws Machine for example is a one of a kind device from some familiar folks.
There are a lot of machines you see here and almost nowhere else. Another popular machine in the vendor room was the Weird Al machine:
I mean is there a more perfect subject for a machine?
Some other familiar faces are here The Pinbox 3000 crowd was back
Like Steve Ritchie he really gets excited about his work
and of course Pintastic NE isn’t Pintastic NE without the folks from the Electromagnetic Pinball Museum
Or the Silk City Hot Sauce display
One familiar face is Todd Tuckey who brought an unfamilar face with him his daughter
My interview with Todd will go up as a separate post later today.
I did another walkthrough of the Vendor room where I found a handy product
And talked to a fellow who brought a dozen machines from his collection to sell
By the end of the day the Indiana Jones and three others were sold (Indiana traded for another machines and cash).
And while I do not generally interject non-pinball stuff in these posts let the record show that I found out about the Dobbs Decision just as I finished by 2nd Ball on a game of Areosmith in the Extra Ball lounge and with my son visited St. Anne’s Shrine down to the road to pray.
I did get a chance to play Toy Story 4 (Pretty Good) Rush (Ok but I think it won’t wear well on the ramp shots over time) but the majority of my time yesterday was spent on Doctor Who and the Tales of the Arabian Knights
I’m meeting a friend here for day three, very much looking forward to it.
