The Allentown Pinball Wizards Convention 2007

CLICK ON ANY PIC TO ENLARGE

Here's a shot of Spot-Pool's backglass with artwork again, by George Molentin.  

This pin was designed by Harry Williams.  Notice the score reel in the center of the playfield, which according to the flyer, was new at the time.  When the ball hits a numbered switch or target on the playfield, that corresponding pool ball lights up on the backglass.

Notice the Williams circular logo on the coin door.  Typically these doors are rusted so bad, the door is repainted with the circle either painted over or missing. 

Back at the flea market, this seller had an interesting assortment of pins for sale, including a 1949 United "Carolina" project, an early example of a pin with flippers.  There was a working San Francisco pin inside the show this year, not for sale, but this one was.  In the left corner was an Alien Poker solid state pin.

Here's a rare 1968 "Helicopter Trainer," made by Amusement Engineering. It was the first helicopter flying game.

Here's a better shot of the cabinet.  Click on the pic, look closely, and notice the 10c label on the coin door.  A dime sure went a long way 39 years ago!

Here's two woodrail pins you don't see too often:  Williams' 1957 "Kings," and 1951 "Harvey," both designed by Harry Williams.  Check out the row of classic videogames on the truck.  Together, this stuff would make an interesting gameroom lineup.

 

Here's something else you don't see everyday:  An Allied Leisure 1974 "Knock Out" solid state gun game.

Here's a Chicago Coin "Rifle Gallery," which I have never seen before, from either the 50's or 60's.

Here's a Midway 1968 "Dog Fight," and another Kasco "Ninja Gun.

Even the Batmobile was for sale!

So was this.

There were also prewar pins for sale.

There were more recent pins for sale too.
