Fall Chicagoland coin-op show 2008

[kenokarz]

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

[tollguy316]

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

[PWRSTROKE]

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

[tollguy316]

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

[PWRSTROKE]

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.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures. 

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! 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!!!!   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 ) and the couple of new faces that showed up.

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

[tollguy316]

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

[Railroad94]

For now the Gremlins are busy with the chainsaws  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

[kenokarz]

the show was great as far as meeting everybody again, missed you bill, tacman brought us some more games to play on CD, 
bunnnyslots brought us chicago bears items,  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

[Railroad94]

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

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

[blueridgeslots]

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....
