Someone was lucky enough to get a pinball signed...some flyers...and an apron.

Once again, the Pinfest event produced another very special unique occasion within the event, that you just wouldn't see anywhere else !!
In the second picture, I was lucky to have a conversation with David and my experience with Hankin & Co from the late 1970's. My emotions were very high as we talked & talked, but I loved the growing smile from David as we discussed old times even though I have not seen him for well over 40 years.

Sadly I didn't get anything signed,        WOW.. that was priceless
Thank you Pinfest !!!!

Brilliant effort from everyone involved. Another fantastic Pinfest. Fiona and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks again to the organisers who put in the work to make this event happen every year. Hats off to you guys.

Super Mario Bros had about 348 plays over the Pinfest weekend. I forgot to record the audits before the Saturday morning session, but I assumed that during that session it would have had about 75% of the plays it did during the afternoon session. That makes 97 on Saturday morning (estimated), 129 on Saturday afternoon, and 122 on Sunday. Definitely added a few miles to the odometer. Thanks to all who gave it a flip!

Other interesting stats: 191 vs 180 left vs. right outlane drains. 91 jackpot collections. Most common final score bracket was 10-20M. 100 extra balls earned.

Hell and I would like to congratulate and Thank everybody that makes this event happen , totally blessed . 

For  me it's a really big deal and I barely do anything except worry the machines don't stuff up .

So , hats off to all those  who put all the major effort into doing  all the things beyond bringing machines .

Big Thanks to Alex and Fiona for volunteering to perform repairs and supplying  parts while i watched .

As usual need to thank Ken , Mitch and then the Tassie Boys  ( whom loaded our machines as we watched )

Finally got to meet some people we should have met before , didn't get to play new Fathom due to it always had someone on it .

Cant wait for next year already

6M$M back where it belongs! 

Had to keep a close eye on it at PInfest as @Railways had his eye on the spinners for his own 6M$M he's doing! i managed to pack it up and get it out before they disappeared LOL

EDIT; jokes aside, it was great catching up with everyone again. I think i spent more time talking than actually playing pinball, which is unusual for me!

I somehow missed out on the  PINFEST Survivor Badge. My sister got one for Who Dunnit? but I never got one for Fish Tales. I was wanting to get the non dated ones, one for World Cup and one for Who Dunnit? since it's been a few times now.

I'll have to get some later (if there is any left).

All good... I should have checked while we were there and I did think of it but thought I'd get back to it.

 

I’m sure I put a 2022 and a non dated one in your bag with the t-shirt.

PINFEST 2022

Lyndon from the Australian Pinball Museum was very fortunate to have a couple of (Hankin) FJ Flyers signed at Pinfest.

We loved having Thomas at Pinfest !! 
Certainly there was much interest in TTTE, and there were so many smiles surrounding TTTE. Really a Pinfest popular favourite for all ages !!
Thank you Trevor & Family !!
