On the weekend of May 5th, 2007, Pingeek headed to Allentown, PA for the one and only Allentown Pinball Wizards Convention, held annually at The Allentown Fairgrounds Agriplex. This is the place to see pinball machines...a lot of pinball machines!

The video opens on Friday morning, May 4th, as the first pinball machines are being set up. The first game covered is a rare Zaccaria Ski Jump EM pinball machine, with a sound card!  Later in the show, a Zaccaria Nautilus EM pinball machine is also seen in action. Both are quite rare!

A couple other rarities featured during setup time include not one but two 1959 Williams' pins:  Sea Wolf and Spot-Pool. Sea Wolf features a disappearing bumper and backglass animation and Spot-Pool features a score reel in the center of the playfield.  

Once the doors opened on Friday, at 4 pm, it was time to see many more pinball machines in action, including:  Gulfstream, Pat Hand, San Francisco, Pin Wheel, Count-Down, Lightning Ball, and a really rare Williams pitch and bat: "Official Baseball", featuring a player on the playfield that literally throws the ball at the bat! You also get to see Easy Aces and Mousin' Around.

Saturday coverage includes more pinball, featuring Swing Time, Butterfly, Skill Ball, Family Guy, Popeye, Rocket Ship, Air Aces, 3 Coins, Strange Science, Batman Forever, Strange World, Tom Tom, Ro Go, Austin Powers, Gold Wings, Spring Break, Gilligan's Island, Star Trip, Flipper Cowboy, Supersonic, Space Time, a Ten Strike solid state manakin bowler, and a Strike Master dot matrix shuffle alley.

Also shown is a brief look at the P3 Tournament, and two flea market vendors are interviewed:  Todd Tuckey of TNT Amusements and Pat Goebel of The Pinball Guru.
