Before & after – pinball machines we brought back to life
Some machines come in as wrecks. Nothing works. Parts are missing. And they haven’t seen any love in decades.
But with new parts, years of hands-on experience, and a whole lot of care, we make them shine like never before.
Like this rare 1982 Gottlieb Striker. Once ready for the scrapyard – now back in the spotlight.

What’s my pinball machine worth?

Why such a huge range?
The short version:
The value of your pinball machine depends on:
- the brand
- the model
- the visual condition (how much wear and tear is visible?)
- the technical condition (what will it take to get it playing perfectly again?)
The long version:
The value of a pinball machine is a lot like that of a vintage car. Brand and model matter. So does the year it was made. Some titles are highly sought-after, others… not so much.
Just as important: the condition. Does it look like it just rolled off the factory floor? Or has it been collecting dust in a damp shed for the past twenty years?
Want to know what we’d offer for yours?
Just fill out the form. You’ll hear from us either way.
Do you buy *every* pinball machine?
Not quite. It depends on three things:
- Do we see potential in restoring it? Some machines are worth the effort. Others… not so much. We’ll be honest about that.
- Could it earn a spot in our collection? We look for machines that can bring joy in our rental concept.
- Can we agree on the price? We go for deals that feel fair for both sides.
