Buying a pinball machine is an exhilarating experience, but it’s also a significant investment. Before you hit “checkout,” here are five essential things you need to consider to ensure you get the best value for your money.
1. New vs. Refurbished
Are you looking for a “New in Box” (NIB) experience with the latest tech and LCD screens, or do you prefer the nostalgic mechanical chime of a 90s Bally/Williams machine? We offer both in our Shop.
2. Space and Dimensions
Standard pinball machines are roughly 135cm long and 75cm wide. Make sure you have enough “elbow room” on the sides to play comfortably!
3. Maintenance is Part of the Fun
Pinball machines are mechanical. Occasionally, a bulb will go out or a fuse will need replacing. Don’t worry—most modern machines have self-diagnostic menus. For common questions on setup, check our Frequently Asked Questions.
4. Delivery Access
Will the machine fit through your front door or down the basement stairs? We recommend measuring your entryways before ordering.
5. Trust the Seller
Avoid “too good to be true” prices on social media. Stick to verified stores with a track record. Our commitment to quality is backed by our Refund Policy, ensuring you never get stuck with a “lemon.”
