Welcome

Numerous pinball titles have been manufactured over the past four decades, some had limited number runs and others thousands. Choosing a title is a personal choice, machines which had a limited run are now rare and very collectable. EM pinball machine manufacture ceased in the late 1970’s, when technology advanced, these were then replaced by the solid state (SS) or electronic versions of today. The older EM pinball machines are becoming harder to find and most are in need repair or restoration. To bring a machine back to its former glory can take numerous hours of work and patience, however very rewarding when the restoration project is complete. Previous and current restorations can be seen on the Restorations page.

Browsing through the site you will find tips and images of machines I have restored in the past, plus work in progress. As time allows I will add more site content which I believe will be of  assistance .

Visit the pinball repairs store to view coloured pop bumper protectors - Trim platters, play field protectors, clear vinyl insert leveling discs etc, & other pinball restoration products I am working on.

Please contact me by email if you need any help or advice on a old EM machine which is in need of repair or is not working correctly. You may want to sell a machine? If so I would be interested in having a look if you reside in my local area.

Electro mechanical (EM), solid state (SS) or the more modern dot matrix display (DMD) have captivated and entertained people all around the world for decades. If you are interested in simply playing, collecting or restoring these amazing coin operated arcade machines, this site will be of interest and assistance. My interest in repairing and restoring the older Gottlieb, Williams and Bally EM pinball machines has been a hobby since playing these now classic machines in the late 1970’s.
