Another somewhat rare EM game that Jimmy Rosen brought was Midway's 1970 "S.A.M.I" (Surface To Air Missile Interceptor).  You can read more about this game here.

Notice the slide out platform for smaller players.

"Fun-Fest" is one of the first pins I ever owned, and one of the coolest.  It has a swinging target in the center, 5 bumper action, a ball save gate, and a ball save post between the flippers.

The oldest and possibly the rarest item that Jimmy brought was this 1932 "Stevo-Ball 600" payout pinball machine.  It's the oldest known mechanical payout pinball machine, made by A.J. Stephens, which was located in Kansas City, MO.

Other vendors at the show included "Let's Play Pinball," and the first look at their new cabinets for sale.

Also at the show was "The Pinball Lifter."

BC's Pinball had four games demonstrating their LEDs for sale.

Here's a "Creature From The Black Lagoon" playfield with LEDs.

Here's a "Star Trek:  Next Generation" playfield with LEDs.

There were also gumball machines for sale.

For those with a high ceiling, these gumball/prize machines were for you.

The giveaway game this year was Gottlieb's 1986 "Gold Wings," complete with lit animated topper, which is often missing from this game. It's the only game I know of that was made with an air siren inside the cabinet.
