Pinball Refurbishing Process

At Vintage Gaming Hub, we hold ourselves to the highest standards regarding the condition of our used pinball machines. Unlike many competitors who loosely use terms like “refurbished” or “restored,” we ensure every machine we sell meets rigorous criteria for performance, aesthetics, and reliability.

When we say a pinball machine is refurbished, we mean it’s been meticulously inspected, repaired, and tested, not just cosmetically touched up. Our process goes beyond the industry norm to deliver machines that play and look as close to new as possible.

Because in the world of vintage pinball, true quality speaks for itself.

Each machine gets our full restoration care, including:

✔ Circuit Board Repair – Replace faulty PCBs and rebuild damaged connectors for reliable electrical performance.

✔ Backbox Refresh – Replace burnt-out bulbs and thoroughly clean the backboard for optimal display clarity.

✔ Translite Restoration – Clean both the translite artwork and protective glass, replacing the trim if worn or damaged.

✔ Cabinet Interior Cleaning – Vacuum out dust and debris from inside the cabinet to maintain cleanliness and prevent future issues.

✔ Complete Playfield Teardown – Disassemble the playfield for deep cleaning and inspection of all components.

✔ Plastics & Ramp Care – Clean and polish all playfield plastics, ramps, and toys before reassembly.

✔ Final Playtest & Adjustment – Test all gameplay mechanics, switches, and lighting to ensure flawless operation.
