The Chicagoland Show is the largest event for people interested in the older machines. We travel from Los Angeles for nearly every show (April and November). It isn't worth flying in if you are just interested in videogames and pinball machines. We actively hunt for older machines, and enjoy seeing many members from the Coin-Operated Collectors Association.
Victorian Casino Antiques holds auctions in Las Vegas at least twice a year. Their auctions are a lot of fun and they tend to be very strong in antique coin-operated machines and related collectibles. We try to go everytime. Their auctions generally do not have much in the way of coin-operated videogames and only a minimal amount of pinball machines as they tend to focus on earlier machines.
Showtime Auctions has some coin-op machines on a regular basis and tends to be very strong on "Old West Collectibles". Focusing on antique and classic collectibles, this is another place you won't find videogames and other modern collectibles. Their catalogs tend to be the very impressive (I wonder what their printer's bills are like?).
Norton Auctioneers offers auctions, usually from amusement parks, halloween fun-houses, and other tourist attractions that are going out of business. It is not unusual for their auctions to have coin-operated videogames, pinball machines, and redemption machines in them, though they hold a lot of auctions, and its not easy for us to figure out which ones have interesting machines in them. Thus, their events are not listed above, though you might wish to check out their web site.
Besides the usual lists of suspects above and eBay, classic machines occasionally show up at Sothebys, Christies, Skinner Auctions, Bonhams, and countless other auction houses.
Buyers should always be aware that coin-operated amusement machines offered at auction are almost always sold "as is" -- machines may be broken, damaged or in need of repair, often in ways that aren't immediately apparent. We advise caution when bidding on items at auctions -- examine everything thoroughly and know what you're buying. In our opinion, pinball machines often require the most caution at an auction, as to the uninitiated problems may not be immediately obvious (like key playfield accessories missing or non-working). Also requiring care would be antique machines of particularly high value, since condition and originality may play significantly it an item's actual value.
