In the shop repair labor rate is $45 per hour for game repair, refurbishment or restoration for both types (Electro-Mechanical & Solid State) of pinball machines and video arcade games.
See our Service page for more information on labor rates and repair services.
A game specific payment is required to start a pinball machine refurbishment or restoration. This payment is dependent on the estimated cost of the replacement parts and the estimated total cost of the refurbishment.
Typically, the larger the shopped value of the pinball usually indicates more expensive parts and perhaps playfield detailing will be needed for a total game refurbishment or restoration.
The game's pre-restoration condition, cabinet carpentry work, extensive board repair, playfield complexity and condition, cost / availability of side art stencils and replacement parts will all affect
the final cost of a pinball restoration and may not be included in the initial game refurbishment cost quote if a restoration is later deemed necessary.
Game modifications (or MODs) include, but, are not limited to: Adding LED(s), ramp and hole protectors, custom playfield plastics and game rom, stabilizing backglass artwork. Anything that was not installed on the game at the factory is considered
a game modification. The exception to this are game specific modifications that were provided by the game's manufacturer to repair a design flaw on the pinball's playfield. These additional costs and part availability issues will be dealt with on a game by game basis.
