Wow, wow, wow

Wow, wow, wow, what a fantastic collection of classic pins! And they all look just like new, except some are actually better than new. The owner of this shop seems to know everything about pinball machines. I’ve never seen a better collection of classic, vintage, and some “new” games in one place at the same time. The biggest challenge is to try to decide on just one of your favorite 3 or 4 games. Another thing that is very special about this shop is that all the games are ready to “test” play. The amazing thing is the games are perfectly level and play like they are brand new. Thank you, Pinball Restorations.

Rocky and Bullwinkle pinball machine

My recent experience purchasing a Rocky and Bullwinkle pinball machine from Pinball Restorations was truly outstanding. Joe Ruggiero’s passion for pinball and his wealth of knowledge were evident throughout my visit. I spent several hours at his shop and felt as though I was his most valued customer, receiving personalized attention and expert guidance. During my time there, my understanding of pinball machines increased significantly thanks to Joe’s willingness to share his expertise. At no point did I feel any pressure to make a purchase. The machine I received exceeded all of my expectations—Joe and his team’s craftsmanship is exceptional. The playfield and targets appear brand new, making this the most pristine Rocky and Bullwinkle machine I have ever seen. It is remarkable to think that the machine is over 30 years old, as its condition continues to impress everyone who sees it. Thoughtful enhancements, such as custom side art blades and an additional LED light strip at the top of the playfield (which beautifully highlights the back artwork), add the perfect finishing touches. Pinball Restorations’ delivery service is an excellent value; the machine was delivered professionally by a knowledgeable and experienced technician at a very reasonable price. If you are considering purchasing a pinball machine, I highly recommend visiting Pinball Restorations in Eustis, Florida.

What a quality shop! He knows his stuff. After he restores a machine, it is better than new. I would trust him with any pinball restoration – or buy one of the machines he has in his shop

Holy Customer Service, Batman!

I just bought a 1991 Data East Batman pinball machine from this shop and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.From the first conversation to delivery day, these guys were incredible. Joe is super knowledgeable, patient with all my questions, and you can tell he genuinely loves the hobby. This wasn’t just a sale to him… he wanted to make sure I got the right machine and that everything was perfect.The machine arrived exactly as described, in beautiful condition, and they walked me through everything I needed to know. No pressure, no gimmicks — just honest, passionate pinball people doing it right.If you’re even thinking about getting into pinball, or adding to your collection, this is the place to go. I’d buy from them again in a heartbeat.Absolute top-notch experience!

Amazing!

Pinball Restorations did an amazing job restoring a 1978 pinball machine. My husband received in 1980 for a Christmas gift. It’s sat in our garage for many years is not working. Now our grandchildren will be able to enjoy it this Christmas. Thank you so much Pinball Restorations!

Time for a cleaning

I bought a Stern Star Trek from Pinball Restorations just a little over two years ago. Since I play it so much, I figured it was time for a cleaning. In a very short period of time Joe and his team cleaned, fixed a few things I had no idea that were broke and added side art blades. All I can say is it looks amazing and plays as if brand new again. You guys are wizards. Dare I say, pinball wizards? Thank you Joe!

Fast, friendly, and just as advertised

Joe was super helpful getting me the information I was asking about relating to this F14 pinball game. He answered all my questions about price, shipping, ETA, etc, and even jumped in when the local shipping company got a little confused. The game itself is great – everything works, it looked great right off the truck, and I was able to quickly get it set up and running. Thanks!

Great service after the sale!

Of coarse when you purchase something from someone you don’t know you never know if you made the right decision. As an end user I could not have made a better choice. Joe has been very responsive to all my needs and has worked me on any and all issues. I would highly recommend doing business with Pinball Restoration for they are from the old school of business.

Highly recommend

Looking for your FIRST machine? Buy it here. Looking for that SPECIAL machine and tired of looking at basket cases? Buy it here. Joe is a true ARTIST and actually FIXES and UPGRADES the machines whereas many other sellers of used games just clean and polish and call it a day. We’ve bought many machines from Joe and will continue to do so as long as he cares to keep collecting these cool toys! Joe is the best!

Look if you must, but buy here

I’ve known and worked with Joe for years. He’s honest and trustworthy, as is his team. I wouldn’t say this if it wasn’t true. Repairs or restored machines…. If it comes from Joe, you have no worries.

Pinball is Back !!

I called to see if a Williams Getaway 2 machine was still for sale and Joe was prompt in getting back to me. Loved the game so much that I have 4 more pins in the game room complements of Pinball Restorations. He and his team can bring the oldies back to life or get you a new Stern Pin if your ready. Can’t say enough about the company, personal attention to detail is how it gets done. Then I saw on the website that Joe found a Data East Jurassic Park and I got him to bring it back. It is the best looking and playing JP I’ve ever seen !! Do yourself a favor and visit the show room and meet Joe and his team. If your into pinball it is well worth the drive !

Awesome Pinball

Had a great time visiting the shop to export machines. Received a great tutorial on the differences between many machines and how they work. From old school to modern solid state. Spent a couple hours playing various machines with no pressure to buy. Fun. Eventually narrowed it down to two machines we liked. Finally chose space station. Awesome game. Had their expert deliver it and set it up. Weâ€™ve been frustrated (in a good way) ever since learning and enjoying the machine. Awesome fun and Joe and the team are great to work with

Perfect!

I have had this machine for over a month now and it is in excellent working condition. They did a beautiful job of restoring this machine and the owner has been very helpful from the start. It came with all the original paperwork. Thank you for loading the machine into my truck. I will do business again!

As Advertised!

Machine from 1987 was very well restored and plays perfect. It has about 150 plays since purchase and has no issues. It is much better than the one I owned back in early 90’s. Joe is very knowledgeable and a great guy.. it’s a pleasure doing business with Pinball Restorations. I Will Be Back!

Terrific job

I took a garage find pinball machine to Joe at pinball restorations and came back with a beautiful and beautifully working machine. Joe was so helpful with delivery and pickup as well as info on the machine itself. If you need a pinball machine serviced or restored or looking to buy a new or used machine from a nice assortment, see Joe at pinball restorations, you won’t be disappointed! Thx again Joe for helping me relive a piece of my childhood.

Great Service and a great machine!

I purchased my first machine from pinball restorations. They made me feel comfortable with every aspect of the machine, showing me the inner workings, and how to make simple repairs and preventative maintenance.We have been enjoying the game nonstop since bringing it home! If and when we purchase another machine, it will 100% be through pinball restorations!

Great service, very helpful

Bought an old pinball machine from them. They showed me the item, talked about its features and let me play it before I bought it. They helped me load it onto my truck and made sure it was secured. Very friendly staff. Thank you.

Terrific Job

We bought a great FirePower II pinball game that Joe had restored, and are absolutely happy with it! Joe did a terrific job making sure everything worked and looked great. The wife and I play every night, and it’s the hit of our parties. Thanks Joe!

Courteous and professional

About a year ago I bought a partially restored Firepower Pinball machine.The lady and her father didn’t have the time to finish it. I sought out Joe frommeeting him at Florida’s “Free Play” event last year and spoke to him aboutfinishing the restoration. Joe has always been courteous and professional. Joe didexactly what I asked him to and recommended a few things along the way. His quoteand two week time frame to finish the machine were both spot on when I picked it up2 weeks later. Fire Power is beautiful. It looks like the day it rolls off thefloor. I highly recommend and trust Joe to work on my pins. His skills are amazing.He is currently working on a Liberty Belle for me and I have an Amazing Spider Manready to take to him. Thanks Joe to you and your staff.
