Looking to purchase a pinball machine that’s working and in good condition. I found a number of them on Ebay, Craigslist, etc. but I don’t want to have to drive to Wisconsin or Maryland to pick it up. Or, pay an arm/leg to have it shipped. Anyone know where I can find a good one for home use?

I’ve been interested in one myself but prices are insane. There are good digital ones now but still not the same

Used to be a guy in Plaquemine who did pinballs and jukeboxes.

But Gerald's in Lafayette is a good bet.

If you don’t have any luck in south LA, there is a place called Gameroom Gallery in Ridgeland, MS, that carries pool tables, air hockey tables, arcade games, and stuff like that. I would assume they carry pinball machines as well, but I’ve never been inside.

You should have an electronic pinball built in a standard cabinet. Less maintenance hassles and cost in the long run, and the electronic ones are built to mimic the old actual games.

Chalmette Amusement Co. Someone I know got their pinball machine fixed there. They bought the machine off of ebay, but had to get new boards an all for it and they brought it there. Not sure if they just fix them, but I am sure they can get in the right direction.

It's not for sale but my BIL has one of these




When it says "Stop talking and start chalking" I'd swear it was Clint Eastwood's voice but I don't think it really is

Had a Jack in the Box for my kids growing up.

My garage was fun. Now just a Slot Machine.
Quarter play from 1939.
