Collector Fantasies Show Mechelen 2010

Collector Fantasies, the biggest jukebox and collectibles show of Belgium was held on February 13 and 14, 2010. It was an interesting show, with a lot of booths. I got the impression there was more for sale (more booths) than the previous years. Not sure about the number of visitors, about the same as before I think.. but the fact that it was Valentines day and there was a lot of snow, probably kept some people home.

The show has a nice mix of jukeboxes and vintage machines (slotmachines, skillmachines, ..), pinball machines, arcade games, and other collectibles like Coca-Cola, movie posters, and other vintage memoriabilia. There really is something interesting for everyone.

Arc en Ciel pre-flipper game.

Many 45rpm records for sale.

A nice restored Jennings Governor slotmachine.

As always Mia's Fifties was at the show, selling nice diner tables.

An original Tommy movie poster, and many more vintage movie posters..

Elvis Matters fanclub

Very nice, valueable, restored collectibles: an Ami and Wurlitzer jukebox, and an indian and cowboy slotmachine.

Vintage gambling machine. Although it says 'Flipper', there are no flippers or any other active components. Drop a coin at the top, it bounces towards the bottom on the metal pins and depending on the location where it lands some prize was paid out..

Vintage pre-flipper game, and something you don't see often: NOS translites of Funhouse, The Getaway, Millionaire and Playboy 35th.

Small model guitars. There were also small drums.

As usual the Belgian pinball championship was held at this show. These are the games people had to qualify on: Fireball, whirlwind, Apollo 13, Spiderman, Indiana Jones and NBA pinball machines.
