No huge description at the moment because I'm currently too busy playing all the games out here at the Allentown Fairgrounds! This is our first trip to PinFest, which has been going on for quite a few years in Pennsylvania. Tons of pinball machines from all different eras, lots of miscellaneous parts and accessories, some classic video games as well. Nearly everything that is out on the floor is for sale, and as of 6 PM, much of what you see in this video is already gone to new homes. We'll be back here tomorrow and see how much has changed overnight!
-- Update 5/5/2024;
Okay, the convention is now in the books. Phew! It was a heck of a time. Between the four of us, we played on upwards of a hundred different machines, from classic EMs from the 50's, 60's, and 70's through brand new stuff that's just been released. Of the newer games, I really enjoyed both the Elton John machine from Jersey Jack Pinball, Looney Tunes from Spooky, Labyrinth from Barrels Of Fun, as well as Barry O's Barbecue Challenge from American Pinball. Was hoping I could play on a Limited Edition Jaws but unfortunately that wasn't out on the floor either of the days we were there. I went on a 90's Sega tear playing through Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Lost In Space, Viper Night Drivin', Baywatch, Harley-Davidson, and Batman Forever. Fish Tales is always fun whenever I come across it. And if I ended up buying one machine, it just might have been an old Gottlieb EM called King Of Diamonds, which I had a ton of fun with. Didn't walk out of there with anything this time, though, but there's always next year!

One of the largest and best pinball shows on the east coast. Thanks for sharing.
Wondurfull place, nostalgic!Thanks. Obrigado por transmitir imagens tão bonitas!
Very nicely made video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day now.
Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot :)
It was a good show this year. Lots of new games to play as well.
Looks more like a market than a show. Still looks fun though. Thanks for the video!!!
Wow thank you for taking time to make a walk through video.....I really regret not going to this show.....looks like a good place to buy some pins! I instead opted for Pintastic New England 3 weeks ago which is always an amazing show but next year I'm going to make sure I attend Pinfest! Maybe I'll hit up York this fall too!
I may try to make a trip out to York as well - after this past weekend, the entire family was hooked. Kids were asking "when can we go to the next one??" 😁
It looks like fun and a lot of ok deals. I would likely pay $2500 for an F14 Tomcat in excellent condition. These walkthroughs with no commentary are great and allow you to feel the place too. Mostly old age 50 plus white men, who would have thought? That's who can afford these now.
One million dollars for an Austin powers is crazy.
You have to hold the pinky to the mouth when saying it.
That same machine was at Pintastic....it's #1 signed by Gary Stern and was supposed to be given to Mike Myers but they said he wasn't interested. I'm not sure how the guy who has it ended up with it but it's sorta cool if that story is true. Regardless it's not a great pinball machine but a nice piece of Nostalgia is you could get it for a decent price....$4k or less.
@@Chicoman67 The only machine that sold for 1 million was a Tommy that traveled with the Who. I don’t know if a Austin powers that was almost owned by Mike Myers should go for the same lol.
@@S.J.C._Entertainment I think he pretty much put that price up as a joke as it's a line in the movie! If it's a legit asking price the guy is a complete m0r0n!
Something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.
I was there! 👍🏻
Looks like a lot of games were sold before today.
Thank you for this tour - it was so great watching this! One really wants to be there!
I have a soft spot for Millionaire, so I'm glad to see 2 machines at this show. 🙂
❤
Amazing event!
Perfect walkthrus (speed, focus, etc). Should hit uncle joe's plymouth meeting while in area! Thanks for videos.
Thanks for the kind words! Didn't have the chance to visit this weekend. But I'm not too far of a drive from there, and from what I understand they have Frankenstein, so it's almost a certainty that I'll be down to Joe's sooner or later. 😅
I need Narc
11:00. What is that line for?
That was the line for people to pick up the official PinFest shirts! By the end of day one, they were sold out of most sizes and colors, and had a sign up advising people to preorder next year.
What’s up with all the unplayable pins behind the vendors? It’s super aggravating going to shows and this happens.
Most of the vendors would let you play, you just need to ask. Played quite a few rounds over at the Butch's Game Garage booth amongst others.
Not a single Jack*Bot at the show this year.
There actually was! It was in the tournament area, check around the 03:25 mark.
You're absolutely right. I somehow missed that one. Thank you.
Saw the three Space Invaders and Gladiators but missed this one.
