I visited the 2010 Gold Coast Vending & Amusement Trade Show this morning in Broadbeach. QLD at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
It was great to see so many vendors in attendance but last nights party must have been a good one as several vendors/exhibitors were late. I was there early and the attendance was low at that point so some of the photos appear sparse.
Some items on display:
- LCD Touch screen Jukeboxes (with YouTube, Sports, News).
- Cocktails, pinball's UFO catchers / Skill Testers
- Vending machines (even Japanese ones)
- Coffee machines
- Cigarette machines (are very stylish)
- Orange juice machine
- Locks of all descriptions
- Coin-op mechanisms
- Food and beverage companies
- Remote Vending machine access
- Booth Babes
Highlight for me was meeting David Hankin and his son Martin Hankin from A Hankin & Company, which created 5 pinball you may have heard of like;
- FJ
- Howzat!
- Orbit 1
- Shark
- The Empire Strikes Back
Through that encounter I was able to meet Gary Stern Of Stern Pinball Inc, and got a photo, (thanks to Martin Hankin for taking the photo).
