This is a 1948 "Bing Crosby Junior Juke," which is actually a real phonograph, with two tubes for pretty good sound quality.

Here's a rare Keeney "Super Circus" console slot machine.

The "Kick 'N Catch" games out there are usually the desk top ones. This is something you don't see too often.

Another rarity is this "Skilo" game from the 30's.

This Williams "Jolly Joker" pin was the first working example of this title I've seen at a show.

This pin features a swinging target, and the opportunity to win an extra ball each time all joker lights are lit.

"3 Coins" is the replay version of "Jolly Jokers." Notice the rectangular backbox design. In 1962, the same year these pins were produced, Williams would switch to the reverse wedgehead design.

Here's a shot of "3 Coins" playfield.

In the flea market area, this Williams reverse wedgehead "Palooka" pin was priced at sell at just $250.

Here's part of either a "Wing Ding" or "Zig Zag" 1964 pin, and one of, if not the last Williams reverse wedgehead titles.

"Surf Side," featuring great art, center playfield flippers, and roto-targets, is one of my favorite 1967 Gottlieb pins.

By the way, there was a nice variety of EM parts in the flea market.

There were not one, but two "Fun Park," pins at the show.

As always, the woodrails were well represented at the show.

This Genco "Jiggers"...

...and "Ballyround" were the oldest pins at the show.

I took this picture around 2005 at a Bennigan's here in Richmond, VA. This playfield is all that remains from a 1949 Williams "Boston" pin.

So, here it is, almost 10 years later, and here's a 40's playfield from a different game, also made at one point to light up in a similar way.

Here's the back of this wall hanging. I'm wondering if somebody at some point was making these from parts games and selling them.

In 2002, there were two Chicago Coin "Twinky" pins at the show. I bought the project one in the flea market, then sold it, then bought it again, then sold it again. Here, the proud new owner is getting ready to set up the game, as the show soon begins.
