For a virtual reality tour of Pin-a-Go-Go 2006 visit
www.ocpinball.com/pinorama and click on the Pin-A-Go-Go banner. These
panoramic pictures will allow you to look around the show hall and view
the great collection of pins that were available for play last weekend.

Both high bandwidth (requires quicktime) and low bandwidth (requires
Java) versions are available. The high bandwidth versions are much
larger and may take some time to load. Your browser may require you to

As others have previously posted, it was a great show!

Pin-a-go-go is a low-key, convivial show that feels like a gathering of
old friends. Thanks to all of the people who tweaked up their games
and brought them for us to play. For me, standout games were Larry's
awesome woodrails and Steve's amazing system 80 games. Ray Johnson
did a world class restoration on a Dogies' EM which he delivered to
Randy Peck at the show. Randy graciously made the game available for
everyone to play. This machine looked like it had just been pulled
from the box; my theory is that Ray has mastered time travel, and
brought back a NIB EM. But don't take my word for it: check out the
pictures at the bottom of
http://www.aros.net/~rayj/action/games/dogies. Also notable were a
very clean Swords of Fury that sold early in the show, a nice Dr. Who
which unfortunately developed a reset problem, and of course those four
Spirits! I really dug Steve C's Pink Panther also. It was very nice
to see Sopranos and WPT, and it should be noted that someone was almost
always someone playing those new Sterns throughout the show.

It was terrific to see familiar faces--Randy Peck and his son Daniel,
Ray & Jill and their terrific kids, Jim Belsito, Rick from BAA, Steve
Charland, Cliffy and Walter Hurwitz. It was nice to meet Kerry Richard
after reading his posts over the years. What a treat to break bread
and get to know some of the SoCal folks that I see at so many events
like Kevin, James, John, Harry, Sam, Rob, and Donald.

For me, one of the highlights of the show was Lil' JuJu., which was
the embodiment of cool! Check out the panorama inside the trailer
where EM's were chiming and 45's were playing.
