What do we do for a shop overhaul?
To start with we have a checklist of all the main areas to be attended to starting with safety checks - fuses correct? Power cord safe? Power switch safe?
Amongst the things we do includes:
- adding fuses where the factory missed them - or added them to later production games,
- check all mechanical parts for wear - rebuilding or replacing as needed for long life,
- check all wiring connections and replace failing connectors and related parts,
- add a lock with our house key (#653) so all our games share a single key,
- repair playfield damage - loose posts, lifted/sunken inserts.
- Touchup artwork and optionally protect with plastic film or clearcoat available for an extra cost.
- check cabinet, repair bottom of cabinet where the bottom panel is coming free - with new wood strips,
- replace worn leg bolt plates, replace playfield glass if needed,
- change light bulbs (install LEDs on request for extra cost) and check/replace failing lamp sockets,
- and on and on.
- It takes up to two weeks of labour to fully overhaul a game to our standards.
- We will also overhaul games for customers who bought them elsewhere...
Note: (unless otherwise noted) All our Solid State pinball games now come with a NVRAM installed, this eliminates the risk of battery leakage! Never change batteries again! Avoid the risk of battery leakage by converting your games to NVRAM today!

MATA HARI (1978) (This came off a movie set that I can't say the name of.) This is ready to set sail to your home! Don't get taken in by her innocence, this is a game that gives you good challenges - lots of drop targets and a tricky saucer shot on the top. Fun to play, difficult to master! We have overhauled the game in our shop and it will provide many years of entertainment for you. Photos: Left & Right side of game, Lower, and upper playfield. SOLD! |
MYSTIC A bit worn but plays very well! Good backglass Photos: Left & Right side of game, Lower, and upper playfield. |

TWILIGHT ZONE (1993) - Consignment We have here a most delightful TZ game (06/29/93 - Serial 52720212511), that looks as if it was barely (if at all) commercially operated - definitely Excellent Collector Quality! Normally I would call this 'Home Use Only - Undocumented' as the person we are selling it for told us that the previous owner had said that it was HUO. However our examination showed that there is evidence the game was on coin play for at least a little while based on the condition of the coin chutes and coin mechs. It is possible that the first owner wanted the Arcade Experience and so used quarters to play the game instead of it having been run commercially. However I can't call it HUO based on this, and the owner has agreed with my assessment. Certainly the game shows little sign of being moved much at all as the cabinet is in superb condition as is the playfield. Look at the shooter trough and cabinet left, right, rear, underside, photos - this game has obviously not had a lot of play! No tracks to the flippers, inserts are all exceptional, along with many other signs of careful ownership since it was new. High resolution photos available upon request! Comes with Cliffy protectors, a nice LED make-over, a few fun toys, plus stainless steel mirror blades, NVRAM (no batteries!) of course, and the wiring connectors and all original logic boards (same serial numbers as game) are in excellent condition. My staff & I have gone through this machine to make sure it will run at its best when it comes home to you. We don't have to force ourselves to play test this amazing game… Photos: Lower, middle, and upper playfield. Detail1 detail2, detail3 - more photos available, just ask! Consignment Sale. 9,495USD 13,295CAD |

CHICAGO COIN |

THING (1951) What is everyone looking for? What is this THING in the package in the middle of the game? A very popular game from the early 1950s from IPDB.ORG s listing on THING Phil Harris released a song called "The Thing" in October 1950 which became a novelty hit for many weeks. It's the story of someone who finds a box on the beach and is vehemently shunned by anyone to whom he tries to show its contents. The actual contents of the box were never identified, as far as we know, but NBC-TV had a Christmas 1950 promotion to give it a different meaning, suggesting it represented the seasonal desire to help the needy. Harris was slated to appear on numerous TV shows during the month prior to Christmas Eve, to provide a clue as to the song's meaning. Another story on Pinside that is worth a look-see...
