Well Pintastic has come and gone (and added back 3 pounds that I will have to drop again)

I have a lot of video for you that I’ll be posting starting tomorrow, if you can’t wait go to my youtube channel and check out the Pintastic NE 2026 playlist and perhaps become one of the 14 subscribers I need to have my stuff monetarized which was stopped by YouTube during my banning.

I have been to every Pintastic since the 1st in 2015 and last year was the only time I didn’t bring the camera as it was my first year not doing this as a business. I regret this as there were a lot of great stories that I didn’t cover because of it

I will start off with a photo gallery today:

One of the things that I have discovered over the years about the Pinball community is that it’s about the pinball and not about any dispute or disagreements we have outside of the hobby.

This doesn’t surprise me as I’ve noted that there is nothing like a game of pinball to relieve and channel stress away.

Anyways here are photos videos start tomorrow.

Well it’s Sunday and time to post my final three Pintastic NE 2023 videos from my final three interviews at the end of the final day.

The first is with author Stephanie Lesser author of 1001 Pinball Puzzles

2nd we have the EMP Team packing up after a VERY successful Pintastic NE 2023

I don’t know if the EMP crowed takes the “Hardest working people at Pintastic” crown but they’re at the very least a close 2nd.

For the first time since I’ve been going to Pinstastic I wasn’t able to get Gabe D’Annunzio for the final interview simply because I couldn’t find him and had a bit of a time constraint, however I DID manage to grab pinball artist Christopher Franci one of the guests at Pinstastic NE 2023 to close things out and that’s a pretty good get:

Well that’s all the Pintastic NE I have for 2023. I’ll see you in April in the same place for Pintastic NE 2024

Pintastic 2023 The rest of the story:

One of the things that keeps Pintastic NE going are the vendors. I spoke to one of the . Joe from the Glenside Machine Shop:

The other question is, while the layout worked for selling machines did it work for selling accessories? That will be answered by the attendance at next years show.

Pintastic NE 2023 The story so far:

We’ll finish up with my final interviews tomorrow.

There are some things that simply make Pintastic Pintastic and one of them is Todd Tuckey of TNT Amusements making the annual pilgrimage. I had the pleasure of taking him to dinner at Linguini’s Italian Eatery on day two with my son and of course I had the even greater pleasure of sitting down with him for an interview on day 3 (Saturday)

Pintastic NE 2023 the story so far:

Epilogue: Now while I’m giving you Pintastic a piece at a time and cover what I think is interesting my primary goal there is to play pinball (thus the early to bed plan to get machines empty in the morning. Todd gives you Pintastic a full day at a time in his famous TNT amusements videos. For those who want a different perspective on the show than mine because he’s up much later with all the folks.

Here are his videos from Pintastic NE 2023:
