Better selection of pins for me this year. Swap meet was smaller than last year. Only got a pingulp.
I had CV wire ramp ball lock hex screw up and the TOTAN the ball got stuck in the thumper bumpers a few times (levelling?)
Otherwise fun.
Saw Meegis, played a bunch of games I can't afford or would take my best pins combined to get.
Saw that JD in the back. Wished it was up front. Played big buck hunter.
Weazer got the #2 on Dialed In.

I picked a few odds and ends out of Mr. Hanley's boxes of parts--I always have good luck finding some useful and rare stuff on his table.

I also grabbed a worn Silverball Mania PF to harvest for parts on my Kiss restoration and I was able to find schematics/apron cards/manuals in their original GTB envelopes for Strange World and Spin Out (which went to Drano).

Played Dialed In and Stern Star Wars for the first time, too. I just shot the blinking lights and I don't think I looked up to the backbox screen more than twice in all my time playing. I probably missed some valuable information...

Thanks to the Church for hosting and to the outdoor collectors who braved the September heat to set up their merch.

Was going to come in, but the wife was ready to leave..... Too hot for her.

I did find some plastics I needed, and had a great friend bring me some unobtanium from Quebec.

Always enjoy the swap meet

Thanks to Hanley and all vendors who helped out.

I enjoyed it. Looking at all those parts makes me realize how little I know about the workings of a machine.
.......and I got to leave my games there to get fixed.!!!

Does anyone know the vendor at the very end as you entered the lot (farthest from Hanley's unit) with all the boards and documentation?

He had a big box of what looked like 555 twist bulb holders that I'd like to grab a few of.
