Welcome to the home page of …
Happy 2024 and Beyond!
I have worked on a few more machines since I last updated pics on my website. Hopefully when I am retired from my regular job, I will be able to focus more on keeping this website looking good!
Cheers, Dave S.
The purpose of this site is to display some of the work I have done on different pinball machines to bring them ‘back to life.’ I will apologize ahead of time that a good chunk of the photos were taken with poor lighting and resolution. In some instances, I did not always take pics ‘after’ I completed a ‘reviving.’
As a ‘restorer’ my focus is typically to make sure all mechanisms/lights/components/etc. are all working as intended when the machine was new. The restoration process also includes cleaning/polishing/replacing/etc. all the components associated with the playfield, the lower cabinet, and the backbox. This requires patience and lots of time. I do accept requests for repairs to get an ailing machine running again. Although I cannot guarantee you won’t call me again. Here is my reasoning … there are so many electromechanical components in a pinball machine that can have intermittent issues. You may fix one, but it may have been hiding a bigger issue and so on. Since I do this as a hobby, I don’t have a lot of time to take on tons of work. That being said, one of my main goals is to help make someone’s pinball machine as reliable as possible and, in turn, teach the owner some tips & tricks to keep their machines running! Playing an active machine is what it’s all about … right?
