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.

That’s why we’ve put together a handy guide to pinball machine values. It explains what affects a machine’s value and how to make a realistic estimate of what yours is worth.

Want to know what we’d pay for yours? Just fill in the form. We’ll definitely get back to you.

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.
