We work on home pinball and arcade cabinets: buttons, switches, flippers, wiring faults, power problems and displays.

$145After the first hour, in 30-minute blocks you approve.
$47.50 / half hourA shop repair taking two hours of labor would cost $190 plus parts; the $85 diagnosis payment counts toward that $190. If you decline repair, the diagnosis fee covers the time already spent.
Cabinet transport and major cosmetic restoration are outside our repair service. Some display work needs a separate specialist; we explain that before you approve anything.
Before you call
Write down the machine title and model from a label you can see without opening it. An approximate age helps if the label is missing.
If everything looks normal, note whether the outside power switch and any power-strip switch are on. Look for a loose plug without moving the cabinet. Stop using a machine with a damaged cord, smoke or a burning smell.
Does it light up? Is there sound? Is one control failing or the whole game? Note any message on the screen and when the problem started.
Do not open the cabinet, touch wiring, replace fuses or work on the display. Tell us what you saw from the outside. Repeatedly turning a faulty game on will not help the diagnosis.
Request by November 21, 2026 for holiday consideration. Last completed-repair pickup: Saturday, December 19, 10am–6pm.
We confirm a finish date only after diagnosis and parts checks. December 20–January 4: closed. Tuesday, January 5, 2027: back at the bench.
No. The request cutoff gives us time to look at the job, but parts and the fault can move a repair into January. We will tell you before you commit.
Wait until we agree on the drop-off. Describe the cabinet and the fault first. We will explain what needs to come in; we do not ask you to remove electrical parts yourself.
