PRE-OWNED PINBALL MACHINES

What is the condition of a pre-owned pinball machine?

Every pre-owned pinball machine we offer will be shopped and refurbished to working order, thoroughly inspected, and tested for play and function before shipping to you. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Refurbished means working 100%. These machines are refurbished to working order but NOT restored to original new appearance.

~CURRENTLY ESTIMATED LEAD TIME IS 6-8 WEEKS~

Every pre-owned pinball machine will go through the following steps and  be refurbished to 100% working order. 

  • Initial diagnostic testing
  • Parts needed will be ordered
  • Playfield parts will be removed and hand cleaned
  • Playfield will be cleaned and waxed
  • Interior cabinet will be vacuumed
  • Exterior cabinet will be cleaned
  • All parts reassembled onto the machine

All pre-owned pinball machines will receive:

  • New balls
  • New Titan rubbers
  • New LEDs to replace incandescent bulbs (on older machines) 

Additionally,  they may receive the following as needed:

  • New legs, leg levelers, and bolts
  • New standard playfield glass    (Note:  Machines by Jersey Jack Pinball that have invisiglass will not receive any new playfield glass)

The following parts will be fixed or replaced as needed:

  • Circuit boards
  • Connectors
  • Flippers
  • Coils
  • Translite trim
  • Bumpers (if available)
  • LEDs (on newer machines)

Please note that wear does occur on the machines, especially the older ones,  so wear on the playfield and/or cabinet may be present.  There may be fade on the cabinet decals also.


Why buy a pre-owned pinball machine?

Older Pinball Machines are getting harder to find.  Great companies such as Bally, Williams, Data East, Gottlieb, and Sega no longer exist. That's where The Pinball Hunters come in.  Many older games from these companies are considered collectibles.  Let us help you find what you are looking for.
