For sale is my “HUO” Stellar Wars for $1800. Many of you who have been to the second Canada PinCon would remember playing this game in the IFPA sanctioned tournament. This mostly removes the HUO concept from the game, but there’s a little more. This game has an interesting history to it….. My...

Early March, snow on the ground and a sunny day. Sounds like a good time to bring up the Hawkesbury Flea Fair and look forward to spring. So.... the first weekend in June (June 6-7) as always since 2014 look forward to another full fledged action packed Flea Fair. There's a twist. We'll...

I am searching for a Gottlieb Spirit in any condition. It has always been my dream pin sitting at the top of my wants list forever and would stay as a definite keeper in my collection. Gaining this title means a lot to me. At present I have too many pins and am willing to trade multiples...

There are a couple posts where you can see what's going down over on Maaca. I've been too busy lately (this year) to keep updating the information on all the sites. It will have the largest pinball flea market in Canadian History and might push the largest amount of machines in a Canadian born...

Canada PinCon 2018 - Progression OK everybody here it is. Get your game on. This is the official launch of Canada PinCon 2018! You know the drill. There will be pinball and arcade machines along with tournaments of both sorts. The CNPO (Canadian National Pinball Open) will be an IFPA...

I need to sign the papers but it will be the first weekend in June for a two day event (June 2-3). I would do a three day event if there were a lot more people coming from a long distance especially the Toronto crowd, but without the attendance the fees would go outside my budget. I have...

It's 99% solid the event will take place and it will be the first weekend of June when it does. Unfortunately with the forums, often many people read but don't provide their input.

Bowling alley closing in Toronto. Kijiji ad has lots of stuff for sale and says remove it yourself. I'm sure there's a good deal to be had. I think the Bluffs could use this info for carpet and cool seating. Its sad to see the death of yet another bowling alley, but I'm sure the contents can...

Hey everybody, Canada PinCon Evolution 2017 was a blast!!! I've been asked lots of questions for the longest time now. I'm considering the concept of doing it again and continuing on that scale (if not bigger) for 2018. We had a lot of support from so many people through all aspects and pulled...

This is a great link especially with a Saturday morning coffee. There is an interesting introductory video attached from Make Magazine. I hope you enjoy. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/a28795/inside-the-gorgeous-guts-of-pinball-mechanics/ The artist/mastermind/engineer...

What if Steve Young was to close his doors, sell Pinball Resource or heaven forbid pass away? From what I understand regarding his company, his books are mostly stored in his head. How would an event like one of these effect the hobby/industry?

I love that phrase. As you know, Canada PinCon will be serviced by Beau's Brewery. The best and fastest growing micro brewery in Canada. 15 minutes up the road from the convention centre is their brewery. Beau's has agreed to offer a shuttle service to and from the convention for a brief...

1 more week left! We are over 100 machines. :-) I will update the Holy List of Pins on the weekend.

I'm sure the quality Inn in Hawkesbury has few rooms left. It's a very nice hotel with an indoor pool. I believe it's ranging from $120 - $125 per night. Quality Inn and Suites Hawkesbury (613) 632-5941 1575 Tupper St, Hawkesbury, ON K6A 3T5

There are three motel rooms left at Stephanie's. $90 a night for one, the other two are discounted at $100 a night which are Jacuzzi rooms. Just say you're here for the pinball convention to get the Jacuzzi room discount. Stephanie's (613) 632-2783 1686 ON-34, Hawkesbury, ON K6A 2R2

Two more weeks to go and a lot more pins coming that aren't listed yet. :-) If you're 99% sure you're bringing something then post it here.

Thanks for the help. I'll attempt to post it in the events section this evening. I'll actually probably get to it in the middle of the night LOL

I've been trying to get the time to do it. Almost did it this morning but I should have it done this evening. Thanks for the reminder. :-)

This is the first year. There's no list of pins for sale. I'm afraid you'll have to come down to find out for yourself. Since you're coming, bring a pin. ;-)
