I was being cagey about this before, until the official Expo seminar
schedule came out, but now it's official and you won't want to miss it:
"From The Lost Playfield Drawings Of Harry Williams: A Pinball Machine
40 Years In The Making"
I have in my hands a playfield design that Harry Williams drew in 1972,
but which was never made. In fact I have a big pile of such designs,
and the long and entertaining story behind that fact should make for an
interesting seminar. But even better is the fact that I am BUILDING
this design into a playable whitewood, which will be at the seminar, and
then in the freeplay area afterwards for all to play.
Built by hand, and "programmed" with steppers and relays, this is as
close as I can make it to what would have come out of the whitewood lab
back in the 1970s if these designs hadn't been shelved.
Even if your interest is only with multi-level, multi-ball, speech-ified
games with licensed themes, immersing yourself in some long-lost
examples of the genius of Harry Williams for an hour could be an
eye-opening experience.

I can't go but really want to see the presentation and hear the story. Is this going to be recorded or filmed? I hope so!

I've been looking forward to this ever since you started
showing pics of the playfield creation process.

With EMs on location all but dead, and dead man's walking in proxy with
the Dunkster, this seminar should be nothing short of a spectacle on
what not to do with your time during your very own end game.
