    30 Days until SHOWTIME!!!!!!

    Here is the official Golden State 2024 Pinball Glass Preorder instructions. Add on the cost of shipping and the risk of breakage, buying glass at a show is a real deal. Glass is heavy and hard to transport, so we only bring a few sheets extra to shows now. Please preorder your glass now.

    We purchase our glass from the same companies that supply major pinball factories in Chicago.

    Note these are preorder prices. The show prices will be $5 higher for those that wait for the show.

    The preorder prices are:

    Standard Playfield Glass: $35 or two sheets for $65
    Widebody Playfield Glass: $40 or two sheets for $75
    HD / Ultraviolet Blocking Glass $200 or $175 for multiple sheets

    Pinball 2000 Glass - Williams NOS - $100 per sheet, however you will need to clean the pink wax-material off of the glass. We will provide instructions but steam, a plastic scraper, and elbow grease is required to remove this material. Limited Supply of this glass.

    By preordering before the show we will guarantee that you will receive your glass. We will bring extra to sell at the show, but we sold out of several sizes last year.

    For small orders no deposit is required. Glass is heavy so please order what you intend to pickup.

    Please send your preorder requests and questions thru the pinside mail system.

    are you going to be doing your Bratwurst bbq cookout, Sparky ??

    #159 12 days ago
    Quoted from rolandthoms:

    are you going to be doing your Bratwurst bbq cookout, Sparky ??

    Hi Roland,

    I am not. I was not able to make it to the show the last two years, but someone else in the Lodi league held the bbq in my absence. I'm not sure if they will be doing it again or not. I wasn't sure I'd be able to attend again this year, but I should be there at some point on Saturday and most of the day Sunday.

    I asked George this very question last night regarding the BBQ as I always like to do my part to contribute. George confirmed that the BBQ is happening!

    Quoted from PtownPin:

    Who makes the HD Glass ... I may order a few sheets

    The HD glass is made by the same factory that makes the glass for a major Pinball Company. We do not make it locally. Sold a lot of sheets over the years and so far no complaints.

    Quoted from zermeno68:

    The glass is called by many names, HD, Voodoo, Magic Glass, etc. All this glass is a low glare UV blocking glass that originated in the rare artwork field. Our glass is made by the same company that makes glass for a major Pinball Company. Hint it is one of the ones on the list above.

    We are bringing 1000's of New, NOS, and used parts to Golden State Pinball Festival this year. I obviously will not be bringing every part that we stock or have access to. I will bring the newest and most popular parts to the show. As a reseller of Planetary Pinball Retail parts we have agreed to bring down any part that is ordered from the Planetary Pinball website from now until the show. I have access to 1000's of other parts from the PPS catalog at www.planetarypinball.com

    Now until Wednesday May 15th, you can purchase parts from the Planetary Pinball website and request free shipping with delivery to Golden State. Just select the free shipping option on checkout. Your items will be available for pickup at our booth at the show.

    Be sure to check out the Planetary Pinball website as there are a lot of new parts on the store. Many of these parts have not been available for years and are produced using the original blue prints.

    Thanks

    Flippin Friday kick off diner and the Spirit Of Steve Charland award!

    Theres no better way to kick off a fun filled weekend than eating a delicious catered meal with complimentary beer and wine included! Its onsite so you don't have to go far and miss out on the fun! A big thanks to Das Flipperhaus for providing the beer again this year!

    This year we honor Adam Preszler! As our Chief Electrician he makes sure that all the games we love to play have the power they need! Not only that he is a super volunteer and friend to many in the pinball community.

    The fun starts at 6:00 PM with passed appetizers before our family style dinner featuring Grilled Kona Tri Tip from the World Famous Swingle Meat Company served with Rice Pilaf and Pasta Primavera featuring the best spring vegetables the Central Valley has to offer. Rounding out dinner is a straight from the farmers’ market Mixed Green Salad served with Italian rolls from Genova Bakery, a Stockton Institution for 102 years. Save room for coffee and glorious California Strawberries with mascarpone whipped cream and a shortbread cookie for dessert.

    Vegans and vegetarians, we’ve got you covered with grilled marinated tofu cutlets served with an agave wasabi glaze for a bit of spicy fun, there’s rice pilaf on the side and a pasta primavera showcasing the best farmers market vegetables.

    Spaces are limited so reserve your spot now!

    As a regular consumer of the grilled tofu with the agave wasabi glaze (we usually do honey but it's not vegan). This is an amazing vegan dish you will likely never see again

    Adam is a truly wonderful part of our local pinball community and a good friend to so many. I’m happy to see him get this well-deserved award. He’s helped me out personally with some of my game maintenance issues that are above my skill level, I can only hope to pay him back by being there whenever he needs me.
