    Did the Frontier sell? The one at the end of the aisle.

    It vanished at some point during the show, so I would assume so.

    There's a billion pinball shows with "pin-something" in the title, plus pintastic is right around the same time; I think it makes a lot of sense just to avoid confusion and draw more attention to the show and its location.

    For me, the show has always been "Allentown" and not Pinfest.

    I'm also not sure why we need the "no hotel talk" line in there any more. Nobody seems to care about that any more, most people know how to book hotels now and any hotel chatter is pretty sparse anywhere.

    Alright, ill go first. I had a reproduction mirrored High Speed backglass i took out of the box, and theres a corner that bubbled a little from the heat, along with one section in the black. IMO it's still a major upgrade to most worn backglasses (I've had many over the years) but because of the bubbling id sell it at a significant discount, $100 OBO. I can hold until next year, or deliver/drop off sometime this summer.

    I wished I could have been there but I had my wife's daughter doing college visits.

    I'll up my offer from last year by a whole $1,000 as inflation is a thing. I am looking for a working Addams Family in the $5,000 to $6,000 range. I am also looking for a wallhanger Data East Simpsons Pinball Backglass or playfield in the $50 range. Looking forward to the show!

    And still selling some items (will cover shipping):

    Pinfest was great for moving a lot of items to others who will hopefully use them

    But do we also insist on using "Marlborough" when referring to Pintastic so there is no confusion?

    Half the time I forget the name of the town for the new location of pintastic.

    Maybe? Couldn't hurt?

    If I were running a show I'd want as much info as possible as easily as possible to make sure people end up there.

    Getting back to Allentown Pinfest, the show has been in the same city for 30 years, and is very identified with its location.

    Assuming, of course, familiarity with the location. Perhaps it should be the Allentown, PA Pinfest? (Wouldn't want somebody going to the wrong Allentown, right?).

    BTW...the next move will be to explain that there is an Allentown south of Pittsburgh as well.

    BTW...did you ever sell the High Speed project? I PM'd you about it during the 2024 thread, but never received a response.

    Planning on making a trip out there next year. It's on my bucket list.

    A smattering but wouldn't count on it. There was a nice old school two gun CRT big buck hunter that I think went for $600.
