The Williams' pin on the right, "OXO," features tic-tac-toe animation on the playfield. Other pins with this feature include "Egg Head," Square Head," and "X's and O's."

Back inside the show, I played a somewhat rare Gottlieb "Happy Days" woodrail...

which features backglass tic-tac-toe animation.

Here's a shot of the playfield.

Not bad for a pin that was built in 1952.

On the left, "Sky Jump," one of my favorite Gottlieb wedgehead pins, with a nice drop target layout. On the right, "Pro-Football," another classic Gottlieb wedgehead, and the first to appear on the show, "Happy Days."

Back outside in the flea market, there was this rare 1979 "Eros One," cocktail pin, made by Fascination.

 

There was also this extra playfield which appeared to be mostly complete.

Here's a shot from underneath the extra playfield.

More pins for sale in the flea market, including this rare Williams "Coquette," pin. I didn't get a chance to photograph the other half of this pin, but I knew it was a complete pin for sale, after finding out later how happy the buyer was to locate one of these after several years.

Notice a similarity of the art between, Williams' "Coquette," and Gottlieb's "Fashion Show." The Internet Pinball Database mentions that "Coquette" was released in May, 1962, and "Fashion Show" just a month later.

More pins for sale.

Even more pins for sale.

On the left, a rare Keeney, "Hi Straight" pin. According to The Internet Pinball Database, Keeney made 87 pins, including a 1963 bingo called, "Venus." However, Keeney pins are very hard to find for some reason.

On this truck, to the left, is the other half of "Hi Straight." On the right, there's part of a somewhat rare "Dipsy Doodle" pin. The one player version of this game is "Doodle Bug."

This seller had pins for sale ranging from the 30's to the late 70's.
