The Pinball Fix

Welcome to my pinball restoration page. These pages chronicle the steps I took in repairing/restoring the machines listed on this page.  

I have tried to give as many details and pictures as possible on each of the projects. The purpose is to help others who may be trying to do the same thing or who may be fixing a similar problem. This page is not a complete "How To Do It." I only chronicle the things that I actually do to the machines. If you want a complete "How To Do It" go to Clay's Repair guides. Many of the procedures I used here came from there.  It is the most comprehensive and best guide on the net for restoring and repairing pinball machines.

On this site I try to show my mistakes as well as my successes with suggestions on preventing the mistakes the next time around. You can read my story on how I got involved in restoring games and playing pinball. Each game section starts with 2-5 pages detailing and explaining what I did to that particular machine with a few pictures and trivia sprinkled in. These pages are then followed by 3-9 pages of mostly pictures chronicling the process.
