The York Show 2010

Here's a hot dog oven that was for sale, probably from the 50's.

The kids were all over this 1995 Namco variation of the classic "Whack-A-Mole."

I'm not sure how rare this game is, but I've never seen one on location.

That's some wacky art.

This was just one of the pins seen at Arnold's on the classic tv show "Happy Days," but it's the one everybody remembers. As a matter of fact, this pin was featured in episode 18 of "Auction Kings."

The Internet Pinball Database mentions that "Nip-It" was the last EM pin produced with zipper flippers.

"Night Rider," both EM and solid state, got a lot of my quarters when I played them on location, I think at G.C. Murphy's and possibly 7-11.

 

In September, 2011, I saw on Ebay a "Bally Express Night Rider pinball machine toy truck." It's got art on the truck sides from the backglass, and would make a great topper for a "Night Rider" pin. The winning bid, by the way, was $58.77.

I always loved pins with spinners on the playfield. They really help to rack up the points, and possibly earn a free game.

This was the first pin with art work by Kevin O'Connor, who's more recent titles include "Spiderman" and "Avatar."

The Internet Pinball Database mentions that there were 12,820 of these made, but finding one working, and with a decent playfield, can be quite a challenge.

At the show this year, was the first time I played this rare pin.

"You shall become a black belt!"

This "TRON" classic videogame was in pretty good shape.
