Any takers?

We have just finished PPO and are ready to host European Pinball Championship 2016!

City: Łódź

Yesterday I've submitted EPC to IFPA calendar.
We will also start EPC site at www.epc2016.pl soon, so please check for all information You will need.

Jag har nu flyttat till USA, men tills ni reder ut vem som ska vara min ersättare så fortsätter jag att sköta min plikter på distans. Nedan är lite info om årets Belgian Open.

Vi kör väl IFPA-ranking som pre-registration criteria som vanligt? Lämpligt cut-datum är väl 2016-05-01. Intresserade kan anmäla sig i den här tråden med info enligt nedan.

This year the max. players is set at 250 people... again without doubt the biggest pinball tournament of the year on European soil.
More info will be available on the website in about 10 days from now.
Price for this event, including some drink coupons and a classics entry will be set between 45-55 euro (still to be decided).

Some info and options choice are needed per player for registration.

Ska sälja mina spel, och började med att lägga upp spelen i en Facebook-grupp. Hade tänkt att lägga upp annonser även här och på Blocket, men hann bara lägga upp tre annonser innan jag hade sålt sex av spelen... Marknaden är trasig.

Nu återstår bara ett enda spel. Första kommentaren på Facebook-annonsen är "22 lax känns lite väl billigt", men eftersom det ännu inte är sålt så blir det en annons här! Spelet är Baby Pacman, och det säljs alltså för 22000 SEK.

Skick: Lite träskador i underkanten av kabinettet. I övrigt säljs spelet nyservat (av Flipperdoktorn), antingen hemma hos mig innan hämtningen, eller hos dig (inkl inlutning) på min bekostnad.

Info om spelet: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=125

We are very pleased to officially announce the dates for this year's California Extreme Arcade and Pinball Show.  It will be held on July 16-17, 2016 at the same fantastic location - the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, California. Please join us for our 20th show with hundreds of your favorite arcade and pinball games, both past and present, all gathered together for another fun-filled weekend of pure arcade excitement for folks of all ages!
 
We are working on this year’s lineup of seminars, guest speakers, and other arcade-themed events that make the show so much fun each year. On that note, we are looking to you, the arcade community, for suggestions for topics and speakers.  Is there something you would like to see presented (or even to present yourself)? This is your chance to let us know what you would like to see! Send us an e-mail at info@caextreme.org and let us know. We welcome all suggestions and will consider each one carefully.
 
The Hyatt is giving us a great room rate for the show ($149.00) and we encourage you to take advantage of this reduced rate on one of their very nice four-star rooms.  The show will be in the hotel, so you’ll be just a few steps away from all the action! Free parking is also included in this rate which is good from Thursday night, July 14 through Sunday night, July 17 (other dates are available under our block at a higher rates). We will be open until 2am on Saturday night, so plan accordingly.  You might also stay on Sunday night so you don’t need to check out before the show finishes and you can enjoy it to the end or enjoy a nice Monday at Great America.  The Hyatt is located close to San Jose airport which will make it easy to get to your rooms.  Click here to book your room or for more information on the hotel itself, click here.
 
Note: In the last several years the hotel has sold out and we expect it will sell out very quickly, so we encourage you to consider booking early to make sure you get your room.
 
Start making your plans, requesting time off work, making reservations by planes, trains, automobiles, and especially trucks to come out and join us for another crazy, arcade-filled weekend!
 
And be sure to let us know if you're interested in bringing games and/or volunteering to help us out by contacting us at info@caextreme.org.  Both are most welcome (and can possibly be worth free admission and/or other goodies!).
 
Thanks to all of our previous exhibitors and volunteers. We hope we can count on you again, and if you've never brought games or volunteered before, why not give it a try this year?  You'll have a great time!

Jag har en polare i Ockelbo som vill att nån kommer och fixar hans spel. Finns det någon flippermek med Ockelbo inom sitt verksamhetsområde?

Jag söker nån som ställer ut spel i Luleå, på uppdrag av en potentiell kund. Kontakta mig (gärna på Facebook / Skype / telefon / email istället för här) så förmedlar jag kontakt.

Vet inte om det här hamnade i rätt kategori, men nån moderator får väl flytta tråden om hen vill.
