Stern Pinball and Marco Specialties have have been heavily promoting the new AC/DC pinball at trade and collector shows across the US this month.

First stop was the Amusement Expo show held at the Las Vegas Convention Center on March 14th-16th where Stern had three AC/DC Pro machines and a Premium model on their stand, along with a Transformers Pro.

For the second show we head east to Grapevine on the outskirts of Dallas, Texas, for the Texas Pinball Festival. It was here that Marco Specialties had their impressive stand with large posters, overhead camera and a powerful sound system to help promote the AC/DC Premium they were showing on their stand.
