Restorations can vary depending the age of the game and what needs to be done to bring it back to it’s former glory! Below are some pictures of various types of restoration work that can be done. We love these games and watching them come back to their original beauty! Not every game requires major restorations but games of all ages will always get the special treatment!
Playfield touchup and clean/polish – It’s amazing how a 4 step cleaning process can make such a huge difference! Touch up paint is also sometimes used in the really bad areas.
Another Issue is Rusted metal on these old games – Just look at the difference in this beautiful old Chrome Coin Door!
Wooden Cabinets – This one was totally repainted (With the help of stencils) and turned out beautifully!

Even the wood was re-stained and restored!
Each game gets fully and carefully taken apart. Every pieces gets cleaned, shined, repaired and often new metal hardware installed for the extra original shiny look.
Here we see Jacob carefully cleaning and removing parts from this classic woodrail game.
Sometimes there is serious damage from water, fire, mold or other elements!
Sometimes it’s just plain dirty! Full teardown and clean and wow!
This Diner machine was badly worn, dirty and attacked by mice! Ouch.
After many hours of careful restoration, it really came out beautifully!
Inside of an Electro-Mechanical pinball. This is why special care and time is needed to make adjustments. Just look at all of the contacts and wires that love to collect dirt, dust and rust! All it takes is one bad contact and the game is stuck!
This Gusher got a full repaint, total restoration and all parts cleaned, metal polished and new backglass and looks like brand new!
