This series of videos is about chicagoland which is the biggest and oldest coin-op show in the world. This is the mother of all coin-op shows. Held twice at year in 2 exhibition halls at the beautiful Pheasant Run Resort Hotel near Chicago Illinois. This is one special show. The high lights in my videos include Jukeboxes, Slot Machines, Antique Advertising, Penny Arcade Stuff, Pinball Machines, Old Arcade Games from the 1920's through 1979 Old Fortune Tellers, Strength Testers,Lung Testers, Penny Arcade Table Top Games, Old Soda Pop Machines, Soda Fountain and Diner items also Gas Station and Petroleum items. There are interviews with vendors and demonstrations of several games and coin-op items. If it is old and it is some how coin-op related it is on display at this show. I attended this show in the spring of 2008 and made a long series of videos covering the show and what I saw and experienced. If you do a search on the Internet you will not find much in the way of pictures or video about this show. The purpose of my series of video's that I did, is to let you peak into this awesome world of coin-op collecting. If you have never been to this show maybe this video series will spur you on to take a trip to this Chicago coin-op utopia. I have around 34, five minute videos that I took of this show. Please click on the video segments and links to my pictures below. I hope you all enjoy this Chicagoland Series and remember you can get all of your vintage coin-op videos at
