The Allentown Pinball Wizards Convention 2008

Another vendor had an interesting assortment of backglasses, including a 1986 Pinstar "Bullseye 301" and a 1981 Geiger-Automatenbau "Professional Pinball" conversion backglass made for some Bally solid state pins.

They also had pins and t-shirts...

 

and more gameroom stuff.

 

 

This vendor also had for sale a United "Pompeii" puck bowler.

Here's the second part of it.

 

Here's the rest of it inside the trailer.  These are quite heavy, by the way, and are the length of four pinball machines side by side.

Check out this playfield glass. It's built into a frame.  Bally used this design on early 70's pins like "Hi-Lo Ace," and "Nip-It."

From left to right: "Target Alpha," "Polo," and "Disco Fever." At the first Allentown show I attended in 1999, the first thing I bought was a "Disco Fever" playfield, also in the flea market.

On the left corner is Gottlieb's "300," then Snow Queen and a Big League pitch and bat.

This is the add-a-ball version of "Skylab."  The Internet Pinball Database reports there were only 30 of these made, but I think that's a typo. Regardless, the pin seen here has a really nice backglass, unlike many I've seen with faded lettering or bad flaking.

This pin, however, I have never heard of before.  It's a wedgehead, but it's not Gottlieb, yet the art looks like it was done by the late Gordon Morison, the artist behind many Gottlieb 70's pins.

This is definitely Gottlieb, though.

 

"Stardust" is one of the few Williams pins with a spinning arrow just under the playfield.
