[...] The Chicagoland Antique Advertising, Slot Machine & Jukebox Show, to be exact. This show has been running a long time, now in its 29th year. If you have never been and live in or around the Chicagoland area, its worth checking out. Friday they have the dealer preview which you can access for $50. It opens at 7:00am. Many game deals have been scored at this pre-show event. I attended the show back in Fall of 2008, you can check it out here. [...]

@Jeff Rothe: Stuff was being sold at price listed, but everything is negotiable to some extent. Especially on the last day when dealers would rather not pack it up and haul it home!

The show has been going on for 15 years I think? Lloyd doesn’t actually show, he sends his minions.

Troy was camera shy and Wu is in the background of the Leg Lamp.

Did they auction the arcade games at this show? Or was it ‘You pay listed price’, that’s the only option…

Tons of stuff there, just stuff….That is a crazy looking pin with the clown artwork, you will have to have someone who knows their pins look at this and indentify it.

How many years has this show been taking place? This is the one Lloyd usually shows up to, correct?

No photos of Wu and Troy? Ninety Six Freaking photos and you left out those two?

@NoCashValue: It was fun, but it can be a bit overwhelming. I mean there was so much stuff it started to all look the same, plus duplicate machines for sale. 2x Popeye and I think it was 3x Fireball (both pins). How often does that happen?

Holy crap! You weren’t lying – that was a lot of pics! Bet you guys had a lot of fun. What a great representation of the different generations of coin-op stuff. I wish I were there to buy that leg lamp!
