OK it is that time of the year again. The Chicagoland coin-op show is Nov. 15 and 16 this year. We are planning another get together of NLG members and friends at the Mc Donalds on Saturday the 15th. At the Spring show we had a great turn out with everyone bringing extra parts they had laying around to sell and give away. I will have another trailer load of S2000 machines including Visions , theme games and a couple of pink panthers. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Ron

As of now ; I'll be there also.   I might have a BARCREST machine   called " Fire and Fortune" for sale If anyone is interested .  I also have several sets of reel strips available... I'll list them later.  Hope to see all of the familiar faces and plenty of new ones If thet can make it.  Bill

I'll be there with the boss and bunny

According to google maps, the MickeyD's is 1,425 mile from my current location  :8- :8- :8- :37- :37- :37-

^^^ What he said, except that I am currently 2,029 miles from there!!!  :8- :8- :8- :37- :37- :37-

Sounds like it will be fun. You guys enjoy yourselves, and take plenty of pictures so we can enoy it as well!

CaptainHappy  :95-

Gee I only have to drive 600 miles to get there.  :72- :72-

Ron

i got about 115 miles and 2 potty breaks :118-

I am flying into Chicago that weekend to conduct a bulk arcade game sale for an operator. I may show up to join you all.  :82-

meeting on FRIDAY early afternoon please.
i come in thursday night, leave by 2pm on friday.
to me the show is over by friday night!

Bobn, we would love to see you and anyone else that can make the pre-show meet. The maps I posted at the start of this thread will show you the way! Clay, I think I am off that Friday and probably could make a 1-2 pm lunch in the area if you are interested. Its always nice to meet face to face, makes conversations much more personal afterwards. Let me know, I know alot of you others guys showing up are mostly working but if lunch on Friday is a go let us know and we'll post a time and location.

 Dan (tacman)

 P.S. Anyone from that area that can recommend a good all around restaurant?

You buying? We might show up a few hours earlier. (We will be there by 2 pm Friday unless we can get a free meal). :97- :97- :97-

If we meet at "steak and shake" i could probably afford
to buy a meal or two. Especially if Tacman brings his
Jackpot Limbo belly glass!  I'll definately buy, and scan the
glass right there at the restaurant with my laptop.

Well, I think the Jackpot Limbo can make an appearance and Yes Ron, I will buy, so put the pedal to the metal on that scooter and sidecar! :71- :71- :71-

 Dan (tacman)

Disclaimer: The offer to pick up the tab for lunch is for cfh, r273 and Mrs. r273. All other meal participants are null & void !!!!!!!!

Life has been busy lately :5- but what a good time to get back into all this and start it off with a early mourning trip to McDonald's and meet up with all of you. :3- :3-

Dansgames.... your a bad man who offers a lot of temptations :92-   

Hope to see everyone there.

Wish I could go.  Gonna miss it again.  :8- :37- Take lots of pics for us that can't go! Thanks B.

No problem with the pics B.  The NLG family is always the best part of the show .

Did you get the small package in the mail ?

We know Dan from DansGames will be bringing machines and Tollguy316 has a Barcrest he may part with if anyone is interested and some unknown as of yet reel strips.

Dan #2

Ron (r273)
 Here are a couple to consider. Let me know

Dansgames  :88-

Mark the 3x5xpay machine SOLD. Thanks Dan.  :3-

Ron

I won't be able to make it this time around.  Have fun at the show.  (I thought the pre-show meet at McDonald's was the best part of the day!)

For those looking for a hotel recommendation, I stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Geneva, IL which was very nice.  It's about 10 minutes from the McDonald's and show location.

Hey Kev, I'll send you a pic of the IGT inserts I have. You get 1st crack.

 Dan (tacman)

BTW how was the Vegas trip?

Yes, how was the trip?
Did you see any IGT S-series AVP slots? Played a few at an Indian Casino, very nice.

My Vegas trip was AWESOME.  Had a great time.  Didn't win anything, but for the nine days we were out there, we didn't lose all that much, either!  We ate well, played a lot of video poker, visited a bunch of different casinos, and had an awesome time.  I can't wait to go back!

I haven't off-loaded my pictures from my camera and cell phone yet, but yes, saw a lot of new technology from IGT, Aristocrat, and WMS.  I got some really great pictures of the newest WMS Transmissive Reel multi-game machines.  I'll post them here when I get the chance.

Count me in!

Moonman :131-

Hey Frank, glad to see you can make the meet!! See you there.

Clay, check the area if you are going to be there before Friday for a sit down restaurant. I'm finicky so like a Chili's or Applebees would be OK. Ron, are you and the Missus going to be here for lunch, its my treat!

 Dan (tacman)

There was a nice restaurant right next to the hotel I stayed at for the last show called The Country House.  It's about 5-10 minutes away from the show location.

Their website has their menu (it's in the left navigation pane) and info about the place -- here's a link (http://www.burgerone.com/geneva/).

Thanks, Kev. Sometimes that fast food just doesn't cut it!

 Dan (tacman)

I checked the menu and it looks like a winner!

I too checked out the menu.... It looks good with reasonable prices.  :89- :89- :89- Only problem is that I am not going to be there!!!!  :8- :8- :8- Too far, and too little time!!!  :37- :37- :37-

CH  :95-

Me neither, unfortunately.  While I'm significantly closer than you, CH, it's still a long way to go when I know I'm not currently in the market to buy anything.

 


We plan to be there around 1 PM. We are coming from Findlay/Lima area in Ohio and it will take about 6 hours to get there.

I'd like to go as well :89-

but 750mi as a bit to far for a weekend trip :8- :37-

Wes :88-

Ron, check the link that Kevin posted for the restaurant, if it looks OK then figure we'll meet there at 1 pm. I will send you my cell phone number by email in case there is a problem.

 Dan (tacman)

Sounds great. Ill put the address in my GPS before I forget to do it.

Hello to all.   ...Here are pics of the 2 BARCREST machines that I have available. They are  "LITTLE DEVIL" and "FIRE and FORTUNE" ...(5 line)    I am asking $1250 obo each or a possible trade for other BARCREST machines...... Looking forward to the show as I hope to see many new faces this year.

Anybody going to the meet needing A Cham 2  12 cell display. One cell of LED's would get a little flaky from time to time but just moving the board would get them going again, sounds like a cold solder joint. Has back board on it. Just let me know if wanted and will bring it with.

2 new CD's as well coming for each and everyone, including the newest one available!!!!! Don't forget to show up, you'll miss
out of the freebies!  :89-  :89-  :89-

Can someone please remember to take a group Picture so we can post it with the other pics here in the command center.. :71- :71- :71-

Thanks Joeylc
 :nlg- Admin  :61-

Of course Mr Tacman the bunny will Kill You There And you'll be saying OMFG and the bunny will tell the paramedic who is taking your bloody body away" NBFD he can walk it off"

Just arrived here at the show, so we will remind everyone to take plenty of pictures along with a group pic.

Ron

i will be there at 7.00 am  ready to go  shopping, :30- :30- o- crap my wife just said no shopping for me  :8- :8-

My fuel pump went out on my truck and it won't be reay until tomorrow afternoon..... :8- :37- :8- :37- :8- :37- :8- :37-.......of all times for a car to break down...........DAMN  !!!!      :60- :60- :60-

What is the make/model?- PWRSTROKE asking.  :8- Sorry that happened.  But as mechanical things go,  They break when we need them the MOST  :8- :25-.-B.

05' Hyuindai Tuscon.....  I take that back .... They thought it was the fuel pump; but it is the " CRANK SENSOR"   ......  I can't take the car over 20 mph........   Bill

That sounds close.  Hope they are rite!.  Everything these day are driven of wires-By that I mean no accelerator cable etc..  On a diesel that would be a acc pedal gone bad.  On yours a crank sensor could cause that because it talks to the CAM sensor for position.  If one drops it looks like you got default and it still runs-and that is rare.  Most vehicles if you loose crank siganl you gotta -no run at all.  Thanks B.  - Hope you got it in a good service facility.

Trailers loaded will be heading out around 5 am should be there by 8. For anyone with the deluxe casino chairs I will be bringing some extra backs for them (free) Thanks to PWRSTROKE who I had the pleasure to meet in the spring. See everyone there  :88-

dansgames  :5-

Make sure he buys a fruit machine so he can pop his cherry.  :96- :5- :30- :30-
(Sorry, couldn't resist)


Looking forward to seeing the pictures.  :71-

Note: I created a new sub-category in the gallery for the fall 2008 show.

OK guys, boy am I tired. I posted just a few pics in the gallery, I was remiss in taking alot of pictures but others that were there made up for it. I think about 12 machines ended up changing hands/vehicles at the pre-meet as well as glass kits, misc parts and freebies. But moving all thise machines around took a toll- at least on my old butt. I'm pretty happy with my Pink Panther Vision, was playing it as soon as I got it set up downstairs! :3- Would have liked to get the topper as well, but height restrictions just don't allow that luxury. And now to throw someone under the bus- Railroad94 got a very nice RT S2000 Cigar machine and told me he was thinking of using it as a PARTS machine!!!! :25-  :30- :30- Make sure everybody lets him know what they think about that idea. Well, I'm gonna kick back now and watch the flurry of activity with the sh*tstorm I might have started. It was nice to see everyone again (except for Bunnyslots :72-) and the couple of new faces that showed up.

 Dan (tacman)

RailRoad94,

Don't you dare use that S2000 RT Cigar machine for parts.

How about posting a link to the pics for everyone to see.

More pics to come when I get home tomorrow night, still on the road. :37-

Ron

I got the car fixed and it runs great ; thanks Powerstroke............  Bill

Alright guys..... tell me everything that I missed at the show    !!!        I want details....... :89- :89- :89- :89- :89-

For now the Gremlins are busy with the chainsaws  :177- but the machine might live again someday. The kit was so nice it jumped into another machine the strips are not backlit but can clean them with water and still have something to look at :25-

the show was great as far as meeting everybody again, missed you bill, tacman brought us some more games to play on CD,  :3-
bunnnyslots brought us chicago bears items,  :3- :3- and the pen box  kenokarz brought was almost empty, pokers machines made it home OK and i will work on them today, some very neat stuff at the show,  spring show is just right around the corner , looking forward to that one

Bill,the one person you did miss was your friend who sells Barcrests minus the tops and then he calls them Bartops....   or Bartopless :103-

Here are some pictures of the meet and the fall chicagoland show.

I didn't see a single WMS slot machine at the show, much less
any dotmation slot.

Gee possibly becuase the PO PO are walking around looking for newer games, just a thought, they aren't that smart though, in 1997 they wanted to see the VIN tag on a Caille Center Pull I had there in the parking lot across the street when the Fri Morning blitz was there, I told them since it was not a motorized vehicle only self propelled  it didn't need a VIN, they were going to check it out and come back, btw, never got a response on those kit prices

Hello all!

It was great to see everyone again and some new faces too at the show this weekend.  Hopefully the spring show will be a little warmer.  I only took a few pics but I posted them.  Thanks again Dansgames for providing some great machines.  I spent more than I wanted to, of course, but ended up with about 5 or 6 new game kits...still got to sort through them all.  Also, thanks tacman, bunnyslots and kenokarz for the freebies :)  My friend Pat that came with got his first machine home and I think he was up till about 4am playing and cleaning it...I warned him that one is never enough and to start saving.

Now I've got to start saving up for the next show....
