Play & Fix highlights! Here’s what some of our volunteers have been working on: Chimes are fixed on Aztec, changed bulbs on Star Trek, and cleaned the shooter on Eight Ball Deluxe 💪🎶💡

A simple & successful repair session. We celebrated all that success with some pinball!

Pinball Expo week is in full swing! Thank you to our volunteers who help us make our games look and play as great as possible!

This Saturday our volunteers tackled a flipper issue on Addams Family, an issue with the ball trough on Twilight Zone, replaced the general illumination wires on Comet, replaced a lamp socket on Getaway, and reseated and cleaned up some ROM chips on our Ms. Pac Man arcade game! Pinball machines require lots of ongoing maintenance, and we are grateful for our excellent volunteers.

If you’re interested in volunteering or learning more about repairing pinball machines, come on in for our Workshop Saturday, 10am-4pm every weekend! No reservation or prior experience necessary!
