Mr. Pinball restores, buys, sells, trades, and
repairs pinball machines. Although
we gladly deal with all pinball machines, our specialty is
electro-mechanical (pre-1978) pinball machines.
We run the largest and oldest
pinball classified pages on the Internet. This is where to go to list
machines or parts, wanted or for sale. Ads on these pages are absolutely
FREE to everyone. Today there are: 1541 machines for sale, 753 machines wanted, 386 parts for sale ads, and 780 parts wanted ads for a total of 3460 ads.
This is how you can find someone in your local area to help
you fix, or find a pinball machine. Or, if you are a collector, here is
where to sign up to join with other collectors. This is all free!
